Asian Photography
|April 2023
Predicting the sunset may be a useful tool for photographers who want to take stunning pictures. You may decide when and where to shoot by considering variables like cloud cover, air quality, humidity, and wind. This essay will go into the topic of sunset prediction and examine the methods and resources that can assist you in foreseeing the ideal photo. Although it's impossible to forecast the sunset with absolute certainty, using these suggestions can help you have a good idea of what to anticipate and how to be ready for a successful shot. Let's start now.
What causes sunset drama?
Ever questioned the reasons behind why sunsets may occasionally be so stunningly beautiful? So, a tiny bit of physics holds the key to the solution.
All the hues of the rainbow are present in solar light as it travels through the atmosphere of the Earth. Yet more than any other colour, blue light in the spectrum is dispersed in all directions. The daytime sky seems blue because of this.
Because of the sun's low position in the sky between sunrise and sunset, light must travel further through the atmosphere. The longer wavelengths of red and yellow remain visible while the blue light is so heavily dispersed that it becomes invisible. The gorgeous shades of orange, pink, and crimson that we witness during a sunset are the result of this.
Now that you know why sunsets can be so captivating, let's review some basic physics. The following time you see a stunning sunset, you may dazzle your friends with your newfound understanding.
One of nature’s most exquisite everyday occurrences is the sunset, which inspires us with its vibrant hues and captures our senses. It’s crucial to remember that even while there may be times when the sunset looks dull because of clouds or other impediments, it is not a result of physics going wrong.
Additionally, by understanding the numerous aspects that affect a sunset’s beauty, one might predict a beautiful one. By doing this, we may raise the possibility of seeing a beautiful sunset or decrease the probability of being let down if the stars are not in our favour. Hence, being aware of the science underlying sunsets might help us appreciate them more fully.

EACH DIVE A BATTLE, EACH ASCENT A QUIET VICTORY:
When Mark Smith speaks about birds, he doesn’t talk like a photographer chasing the perfect frame.

BEST CAMERAS OF 2025
Competition doesn't sleep, and 2025 was no exception for the quote. The imaging industry went through a makeover of sorts, as we saw a shift of priority from companies, which led to them making cameras which were more hybrid in nature. This year we saw the Nikon-RED merger further fruitioning into a compact, competitive cinema camera and Canon releasing one in a similar form factor but with different capabilities and priority. In this round up, we list the cameras that brought something new to the table. Just like last year, we aren't including lenses, drones or action cameras or cinema cameras even though they've got so much in common with their mirrorless cousins.

Canon EOS R6 Mark III Review
It's time to dig out the Canon-Nikon rivalry from the DSLR era! Last year when we reviewed Nikon's Z6 III, we concluded that it's a solid buy with no real competition in the space. Well, that has certainly changed with the launch of the new Canon EOS R6 III. Priced at *₹2.44L puts it above its entry-level sibling - the R8 and below the flagship R5, R3 & R1 bodies. It also squarely sits in the same price bracket as the Nikon Z6 III which is interesting for the competition!
