Shooting a sunset on the RED

[alzeppy13]

I'm going to be shooting today's sunset. Any tips and pointers?

point, set exposure and shoot....if you get the black dot in the center of the sun, you can easily remove it by using the curves in redcine x

btw. this is a real names forum

If you want a nice movement of the sun ball try 1 second interval time exposure at the appropriate exposure setting.

600mm lens (nikon 300 2.8+ x2 extender=600 f 5.6)

Even with the camera on sticks with no one touching it and all locked up,
the wind caused some trembling which I removed by digital stabilization, so maybe leave a bit room for tiny crop if you have wind. aperture was open, at 5.6 the sunset light is rather dim.
The artifacts you may see at the foreground are due to the extreme grade i did, it wasn't in the source.
