Re: Photographing sunsets - help wanted

I've used a spotmeter when photographing sunsets, and taken my reading from the spot where I wanted the color density to be approximately that of 18% gray, usually right next to the ball. That retains the color. However, your foreground will be dark. The solution to that is HDR or multiple expos
