Sunrise and Sunset

Sunrise and Sunset

It is not necessary to shoot these locations at sunrise or sunset but should you choose to do so then the Photographers Ephemeris is very helpful to determine the position of the sun. The website version is free and if you want to use it on your smartphone then you can download the app.

These locations can be shot throughout the year. The ones on the northern coast will be better if shot after March when the sun sets over the sea, whereas those on the south coast can be shot earlier in the year when the sun will rise and set over the sea. Once the sun rises over the land you will need clouds to get reflected colour. This can make for a really stunning image.
