Hi Scott, I've been playing around with sunset shots lately. They aren't my strong suit, but I am getting better at it. I can give you a little advice. First, when you meter an evening shot, like sunset or shortly after, your meter will try to make it look like a mid-tone, rather than dark. If you listen to what your reading tells you, you'll end up with what you probably don't want. In my case, my sunset colors in the sky would disappear if I went with a straight meter reading, because my scene gets over exposed. I've been playing around with stopping down about 1 stop or 2 stops (or somewhere in between) and seeing what works best. If you do this a few times, you'll get a feeling for what looks right to your own eyes. One hint, if you're shooting night scenes, you can often get a better shot while there is still some remnant light in the sky from the sun, it gives you a little more definition to objects. Of course, this works for the subjects I'm after - I don't know if maybe you have a different goal than I do. I've been shooting scenic stuff, horses in pastures, farm scenes, etc as the sun is disappearing, up to about 15 minutes after sunset. This has been especially fun on those great nights when the hazy cloud cover brings the pinks of the sunset all the way through to the eastern sky. Hope this helps! Keep asking questions - there are some really nice people on the list here who will help you out. -Lynn
