There are really nice sunset these few days here in Kuching. If you always wanted to try that sun behind the back of your subject theme, this is probably the time frame to do it. Whether it's brimming orange, yellow or even a hint of magenta hues coloring the sky, it paints a breathtaking photos regardless of your subject.
On the question of what camera setting should we use ? I'm not sure there would be one that exist which would be suitable for such occasion although setting the metering mode to either the spot metering or partial metering does help. The next thing would probably the exposure compensation, dialing to +1 or +1.5 depending on your camera reading. The actual trick is, always try and try again fiddling with the setting along the way.
Came out very underexpose. Spot meter without any exposure compensation. Some will like this effect. Not bad on the first try.
Spot Metering and Exposure Compensation +1 still quite dark. The lens flare is visible because I'm not using the lens hood. It does add to the sun thing in the photo.
By far the most acceptable result I got. Spot meter, compensation +2. Meter at the eyes or face.
This one I ask dear to use center weighted metering. Not bad the end result too.
