That means that New Zealand’s North Island is no longer considered the place with the first sunrise. However, this has been the case only until recent years where the dateline has been changed which has given us a new point as the most Eastern place on our planet. East Cape used to be the place where the day begins first in the world. This meant that the first city in the world that sees the Sun is Gisborne, which is located on the East Coast of New Zealand. The sunrise can be best and earliest seen from the North Island of New Zealand, more specifically from East Cape. In the past, we have always said that the country that the Sun rises earliest in the world is New Zealand. Where does the sun rise first? (in the world) We know that the Sun rises in the East and sets in the West – this is the same whether you’re in the Northern hemisphere or the Southern hemisphere.īut at the start of a new day, which country gets the first glimpse of the Sun? Well, let’s have a look at which country and region is blessed with the first glimpse of our rising Sun each day. Many people each year wonder where exactly the Sun rises first in the world, and where it sets last too. Originally posted Januby Stephanie Glover.If you’re trying to figure out where in the world the Sun rises first, then you’re not alone. There’s something relaxing about the quiet and beauty that you experience when watching a sunrise. Enjoy Yourself! When I consciously make the effort to take a sunrise picture, I like to go alone. When you go back through your pictures when you get home, you will have a ton of options to choose from.ħ. The sun and lighting is always changing during a sunrise so make sure you capture it all. Change up your angles and play around with your composition. So play around and see what you like best.Ħ. Keep Shooting. Of course, rules are meant to be broken! And sometimes it makes sense to put your focal point right in the center of your photo. In your mind’s eye, draw an imaginary tic tac toe board on top of the image your are framing. Where possible, place your horizon near either the upper or the lower horizontal line and place your focal point (in this case the end of the visible road) near one of the four circles where the lines intersect as shown: Keep your photos interesting! While not a hard and fast rule, a photo will typically be more pleasing if you frame it according to the rule of thirds. I find a little contrast and color boost (saturation) helps bring out what I’m seeing with my natural eye.ĥ. Usually all I need to do is decrease my highlights and brighten my shadows a bit. Then, after I’ve taken the photo, I go into the “Edit” function and do a little post editing. I use either the HDR setting or I underexpose slightly by tapping my finger on the screen and pulling down the slider that appears next to the box. While these cameras don’t typically have white balance capability, you can still take great photos. Hint for Smartphone Users: Often, your best camera is the one you have on you, and for many of us, that is the camera we have on our smartphones. This way, you will capture more warm tones and really capture a good representation of the sunrise colors. This is the white balance setting that I use 95% of the time when shooting outdoors. Instead, try shooting with a “Cloudy” white balance.
You may miss a lot of the colors that are in a sunrise. If your camera has the capability, be sure you are not shooting in Auto White Balance. The important thing here is that you want the camera to stay still.Ĥ. If you are shooting in a more natural setting, look in the trees and see how the leaves filter the light.ģ. Grab a tripod or set your camera on a ledge. Look around and see how the light reflects off of a building or, if you’re lucky, the ocean. There is some amazing lighting during a sunrise.
Weather can affect your picture so make sure you check the weather report.Ģ. Look around. You don’t always have to shoot the sunrise directly. Make sure you’re ready to capture the sunrise at least 20 minutes beforehand, so you can get set up. Plan ahead. You can check the time for your local sunrise by visiting the Sunrise/Sunset calculator. Grab your camera, your coat, and head out to watch the sun rise!ġ. And the dark makes you want to crawl back into bed.īut use this early morning opportunity to try something new. If you have kids like mine, you are up way before the sun even thinks about waking up.
