After a failed attempt in cloudy conditions, I returned to Three Cliffs Bay determined to finally capture the sunset I had in mind. In this video, I take you through the journey of chasing golden light — from planning and setup to the final shot I’ve been chasing.

Along the way, I break down my approach to handling tricky exposures when shooting directly into the sun. I’ll walk you through how I manage dynamic range, control highlights, and expose for detail using both in-camera techniques and thoughtful editing.
Whether you’re just starting out or looking to refine your sunset photography, this shoot has it all — patience, persistence, and finally, payoff.
Thanks for watching, and let me know in the comments how you handle challenging light in your own photography!
