Good settings for a sunset?

Ballistics · Sep 30, 2011

I need to use all 3 lenses in my sig, to take some sunset photos.

I'm not looking to be original or unique, it's just for a contact sheet.

Is this anygood? I took this a week or 2 after owning my camera and never tried again since.

Technically it's fine... it appears level and the exposure is good. It definitely matches the description of not being original or unique. I wouldn't accept this. If you get to choose between creative and typical, I don't know why you wouldn't want to be creative... if people are going to see it, I'd do the best I can do no matter what it's for.

No one is going to see it. It's for a contact sheet and the image will be the size of a dime. It's just representing effort.

Kinda? It's for an assignment. For this one I name 3 songs develop 3 themes per song and take 4 pics per theme (36 pictures) which all go on a contact sheet. Then I pick the best set of 4, and then I pick the best out of the 4 and edit it. I already posted the picture I will be handing in processed.

It's in this thread http://www.thephotoforum.com/forum/photography-beginners-forum-photo-gallery/258254-rose-c-c.html

We get graded on the processed picture, and proof of the other 35. One of the themes I came up with is a sunset. I just wan't to have a technically good sunset.
