sunset colors study
Sunset colors study with normal exposure shot compares to long exposure. The normal shot with a Lee 1.2 GND soft edge filter --> result with correct exposure in the shadow area, no hard shadow and lost details. The long exposure with the Hoya 9 stop ND filter in result with under exposure shadow area in the duck pier area. However, since the image was bit under exposure that brings more colors in the sky. That is one of hint to take the sunset colors shot for more colors. also the colors has to do with the time changes during the sunset time. The long exposure could be at the peak with colors.
There is no right or wrong method to take the landscape photos or sunset color photos. It is all up to you how to control your exposure for the color tone. On the other hand, to use the GND soft edge filter will be a big help. There is an other thing to keep it in mind for different stop GND filter to create different effect. The more stop filter will bring more dramatic effect. IMO.
