Hello all you clever people When photographing a sunset (one of the
two most popular photographic subjects - sunsets and women) I always
get disappointed as my photographs come out, showing a white sun! I
guess most people actually see the sun as red, orange or yellow, as
the sun is setting. I wish someone would come up with an easy way of
avoiding these white sun sunsets.
I have tried to alter this image in Photoshop - not very
successfully, I?m afraid:

Split Neutral Density filters can be used to darken the sun & sky while
leaving the foreground bright.
Multiple exposures can be sandwiched - underexpose for the sun to make
it turn red/orange/yellow & properly expose for the foreground. Blend
the properly exposed foreground with the underexposed sun & sky.
HDR (which is just another way of blending multiple exposures.
If you're shooting RAW, you can process the image multiple times to
obtain your under/proper exposures for sandwiching & HDR, but I think
having multiple exposures in camera is easier to work with.
