"Capture a breathtaking sunset landscape featuring a lone, windswept tree standing against a rugged limestone pavement. The sky is painted with soft gradients of orange, pink, and purple as the sun sets behind distant hills. The limestone rocks in the foreground are jagged and cracked, their rough textures illuminated by the warm glow of the setting sun. The shadows between the rocks create a dynamic contrast, enhancing the sense of depth. The lone tree's silhouette stands out starkly against the colorful sky, its branches bending slightly in the wind, symbolizing resilience in nature. The composition should evoke a sense of solitude, timeless beauty, and the raw power of the natural world."
Camera Settings:
Camera: Nikon D850 for its excellent dynamic range, capturing both the soft sky tones and the textured rocks in the foreground.
Lens: 24-70mm f/2.8 to allow for a wide-angle view, incorporating both the foreground details and the expansive sky.
ISO: 100 (to maintain clarity and minimize noise in the sunset lighting conditions).
Aperture: f/11 (to ensure a deep depth of field, keeping both the rocks in the foreground and the distant hills sharp).
Shutter Speed: 1/15 sec (to capture the fading light without overexposing the sky or underexposing the foreground).
White Balance: Set to "Cloudy" to enhance the warm tones of the sunset.
Lighting: Natural light from the setting sun, with the warm orange and pink hues softly illuminating the scene and creating deep, natural shadows in the foreground rocks.
Angle: Low-angle shot, taken from a perspective close to the rocks, leading the eye from the foreground through to the tree and the distant sunset.
