Hy everyone 🖐️
I hope each one of you is okay...I would like to begin by thanking @world of xpilar community for continuously organizing these amazing contests.

I feel so blessed to be part of this community and writing down my article right now is making me feel like the most favoured person in the world.

Sunsets ( Sundowns) are romantic, inspiring and calming yet most of us only make time for this amazing experience when on vacations. We all don't need to be in an exotic place, free of obligations to enjoy the calming and life changing moments of a sunset.

The sunrises and sets every single day no matter the place you are at. Surely why wouldn't you take a few minutes to infuse your day with wonder and stop to enjoy it.

I took this picture in the evening last week while I was at home. I was so stressed but after watching that sunset made my entire being calm.

Those brief moments where the sun is just falling below the horizon are among the most magical and special no matter where in the world you are.

This was taken a few seconds to darkness. I wasn't sure I would get a nice shot but nevertheless I tried and guess wat I got the shot I wanted.

Sunsets are way more popular than sunrises. It is easier to make it to sunset. Let's say to meet with someone, make a photoshoot during a sunset or to just sit somewhere let's say in your car, on the ground, or anywhere just to watch the sunset because it's a more convenient time of the day. Usually more people are done with their work shifts so they can sit back and relax.

I took that picture while I was at the shores of lake Victoria. Sunsets in my country are so beautiful .they go with endless charts about a number of things as many people usually meetup during this time.

I also meet a number of strangers who later turn into friends. We usually meet at different spots while watching sunsets.

The challange I find with Photographing Sundowns (sunsets) is getting the right spot. When the sun is close to the horizon, the game begins, many photographers try to create a piece of art that involves the sun. There are millions of perfect shots out there .captures of the sun involving people holiding the sun, surrounding it or simply being next to it.

Sunsets aren't the easiest shots to take for photographers or just anyone with their camera that wants to take a shot. This is because the background is usually either too bright or everything in the background is black. Sometimes that's good because you just want to capture a silhouette infront of the amazing sunset but sometimes you want to capture all of it and you don't have alot of time.

This is because the light changes every minute and the sun will either disappear soon or stand too high to take any more proper shots.

I love Sundowns (sunsets )so much, their appearance, their beauty, and their magic makes me so happy 😁😁💯💯❣️❣️

Very beautiful sunsets and good photos.

I want to share with you one observation.
In landscape photography especially (and in everyone else too) it is important to have a flat horizon. This means that the horizon line should be parallel to the horizontal side of the image, and the vertical in the center of the frame should be parallel to the vertical side of the image. In this case, the photo will look more attractive.
The horizon can be corrected in any photo editor.

You have amazing photos and they could be even better.

Hola amiga @gracembabazi,
Tienes razón al decir que el sol se oculta rápido y no da tiempo de pensar mucho en que toma se quiere, jajaja las tuyas quedarón muy bien. Me gusta mucho la segunda porque por alguna razón me ignotiza el naranja en el cielo.
Éxito en el concurso.
