Gaurev, Thanks for your kind words. About capturing sunsets, I usually put the camera (ZX-5) on manual mode. I set the aperature to F8 or F11 or something like that, then meter the sky next to the sun, but no sun in the viewfinder. Keep that exposure, and then recompose. Now when you point the camera towards the sun, you will see the scale inside the viewfinder shoot up, as if it's overexposed. Just ignore, and take a shot. If it's a worthy sunset, take some extra shots with half stops bracketed. Sometimes I use the spot meter and meter on something else like the sand in the front and keep that exposure. Harald

I also looked at some other pictures and particularly liked the sunset picture at: http://www.geocities.com/harald_nancy/images/sunset.jpg Was wondering if you could give me some tips on capturing sunsets. How did you meter it? What is the best time to capture the sunset? Did you need to bracket by large EV values? Any tips would be much appreciated.
