Hi, I live in the California Bay Area. I've been shooting sunsets for a little while now, but today I realized they don't always appear over the beach like I've been lucky with. :)


My question is, how do you figure out where the sunsets during the year? Right now I have a photoshoot in Santa Cruz california, I went there this weekend to see how it looks before I went off to shoot and there was no sunset. It was also pretty cloudy, and during the sunset hour it got dark. I know the sun might be more north of San Francisco this time of the year, but I was wondering if theres an app or information on location/time of the sunset/sunrise?


 


I've been doing sunsets over the beach in san francisco the past few months but, I don't think I'd  get this same shot in Santa Cruz will I?


 


Sorry dumb question.

I use Sun Seeker on my iPhone.  The Lite version (free) shows where the sun tracks at the current location.  The paid version will tell you the track at any place on earth at any time.  The paid version could be useful when planning a trip, but I get by fine with the free version.  Go to the app store and enter "sun tracker".  Many hits appear.

PLANETS for iPhone iPad. Free. Hold up and you can see just where sun / moon will appear even when it's below the horizon. Like looking through the earth itself.

      2 Primes or 1 Zoom?

      By XKAES · Posted

      I'd opt for a small zoom, but I must admit that there seems to be a dearth of lenses in the e-mount in the 24-50mm range -- for some reason.  I have a small 24-70mm, but that's an a-mount Tamron.  Maybe you can find something by looking at lenses slightly longer.  I have a heavy, but small 24-100mm a-mount, and Tokina made a 24-200mm a-mount.  Maybe there are similar lenses in the e-mount.  Kill three birds with one stone.

      Well this! Thank you! I have been following suggestion after suggestion for the past 3 hours with my a7CR and never thought of removing the battery. Magic!

      2 Primes or 1 Zoom?

      By bs.shoots · Posted

      I recently got an a7cii and to pair with the compact body, I thought of getting 2 of the trio compact lenses, 24mm F2.8 and 40mm F4.0. (I already have a 70-200mm) However I stumbled upon the newly released 24-50mm F2.8 G. I'm not sure which to get - I like the small factor of the prime lenses ON the body because it's discreet and helps me blend in as an average tourist / doesn't make it obvious when doing street. But if I add the dimensions of the 2 primes together, it takes up more space in the bag than the zoom lens. BUT THEN, the weight of the 2 prime lenses is 110g lesser than the zoom lens. The zoom lens has the added benefit of being more versatile.   So now I'm stumped. Each has their pros and cons and I can't decide which to get. I'd like to hear the views of you guys who are more experts at this.   Edit: I'm a bit concerned about weight because the last time I went overseas my shoulders were aching from carrying too much. Which is why I was looking for small compact primes in the first place.
