What Was the Weather Like? What Was the Lighting Like?

The weather was lovely. There were some beautiful white and also gray clouds in the sky, but not too many to ruin the photo. The photo was taken outdoors from Kangaroo Point lookout. As it was just after sunset, there wasn't much light, but there was enough to capture the beautiful orange sky over the city. The manual setting was used to deal with the lighting by altering the exposure.

Advice

  • Could have used different angles
  • Could have tried a wider shot

If You Remember, What Were the Camera's Settings?
