Photos: Sunsets

It's America's most beloved icon, California beach sunset photographs. Do you have some great ones? Give them as gifts, if you like them enough. Or better yet, sell them if you can.

Are you a beach sunset junkie? One couple took pictures of each and every sunset at Southern California beaches for an entire year, then turned the images into gift cards sold at craft fairs.

Sunsets are one of the most rewarding types of photos to take pictures of.

Probably the most coveted and beloved picture of a California beach is one captured at sunset. They are relatively easy to take and with a little luck you will be proud you can put it on your wall (of your home, facebook or elsewhere.)

Don't Stop

When it looks like sunset is over, don't stop taking pictures. Add a few minutes extra to your photo session and you may be amazed at the results of the last photos you took.

Start before sunset.

Come hang out and scout out your locations for more enhanced picture taking. They sky is nice but lacks context if that is all you capture in a picture. Shoot sunsets with identifiable icons such as certain beaches, pier, rock formations and even people in silhouette.

Sports Photography

Most beach sports photographers don't make a full time living in the trade, but they do have fun. Some of the best surf photographers, for instance, are surfers, themselves.

People Pictures

Everyone can take sunsets. Stock agencies have far too many. People pictures for editorial and advertising are in demand. If you can see a face, get a photo release!
