I've gotten my best sunset shots by shooting when the sun is partially
set or even after the sun has set but the sky is still lingering red...
It's not the sun that you want after all, but the dramatic effects of
the red sun in the clouds etc. I had a friend who used to shoot sunsets
of lighthouses along lake Michigan - back in the film days - and he
liked nothing better than a good 15 to 20 minute exposure after sunset
on Velvia. The film gobbled up the remaining light, shifted color due to
reciprocity failure, and produced some really stunning images.
I guess reciprocity failure is a thing of the past now...

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:
