Dusk, often confused with sunset, is the period after twilight where the sky turns blue before it goes dark.

People who shoot sunsets tend to go home once the orange disappears from the sky, and before they see the cool blues which replace the fiery reds and oranges of the sunset. It’s a pity, all they need do is wait 10 minutes, raise the ISO on their cameras a little and open up the aperture to f/5.6 and they can still take hand-held shots… or they could do it the best way and use a tripod use a low ISO to cut the image noise and use a narrower aperture like f/8 for better depth-of-field.

Hand-held or with a tripod, it doesn’t really matter – just don’t take-off as soon as the sun goes down!
