Skyscape Photography: Vivid and Vibrant Evening Sky at Kaziranga

Sunsets are generally very pretty and a classic one has a great emotional undertone.

The colours of the sunset has a trailing effect in the colours of the clouds or land or water making it a very attractive moment.

I was a spectator to one such attractive moment when I noticed the colour of the sky change at the end of my evening jungle safari at Kaziranga National Park in Assam, North East India. I could not see the setting sun as it was disappearing behind the hill range that stood in front of me. Instead, I got treated to a vivid and vibrant evening sky that seemed to have absorbed the evening sky colours.

The different cloud patterns just seemed to accentuate the sunset colours. It seemed as if the clouds were coming to life. It felt like a very happy moment. The spectacle was so great that I could not keep my camera down and ended up taking shots till it became dark.

Here are some more shots of this vibrant evening skyscape. I fiddled with a lot of my camera settings and hence have got the same sky in different tones and shades.

    So many colourful photos- the colour difference is due to camera settings or they were clicked over a period of 10-30 minutes?

    Thank you Nisha. To answer your question, it was a combination of camera settings and me playing the waiting game to capture the various colours.

    Amazing photographs ! Look out for grey clouds and potential storms approaching. To capture drama, you need to look for the sun peeping out of the clouds and backlighting them.
