[QUOTE="Lee532, post: 246618, member: 17013"] The D5100 has a specific scene setting for Sunset/Sunrise and when I first got mine I used that regularly to capture some great images. As I have learned more about photography I have looked at the settings the camera automatically used to get an idea of what gets the results you are looking for. I now usually shoot my sunrise/sunset photographs in manual although I will throw in a couple of auto ones to see what the camera thought compared to me! I found this a great way to learn about shutter speed/ISO/Aperture for the scene or effect you are tring to create. I started using the free software that came with the camera but now, a year in to my new hobby, I shoot in RAW and post process in Lightroom 5. To get the great colours from a sunset you will usually need to under expose the foreground to keep the colour in the sky. I post process these in either of two ways, leave the foreground as a silhouette by dropping the blacks in the photograph to give a really crisp silhoueete, or bring up the shadows to show the foreground. I find it's mostly a taste thing as to which way to go. Here are a couple of examples of the same scene processed both ways.
