[QUOTE="Joseph Bautsch, post: 9440, member: 654"] You will never get the really great sunrise or sunset colors you are looking for using jpeg and in camera adjustments. Those settings are just to limiting. The best way is to shoot is in raw so that the color can be brought out in post processing. Shooting in RAW will capture all the data available at the scene and provide the best opportunity to get the shot you are looking for. Both Lightroom 3 or Aperture 3 have post processing adjustments that work great. One method to get maximum color is to shoot a three shot bracket that can be merged into an HDR. The camera settings should be, raw with the white balance set on cloudy or open shade with a neutral density filter to reduce glare and bring out detail. The shade or cloudy WB will enhance the warm colors of the scene. A CPL filter will not work as a CPL when shooting directly into a rising or setting sun. It will however act as a ND filter to reduce glare. If you are serious about your photography then it's probably time to consider getting Lightroom or, if a Mac person, Aperture and start learning post processing. [/QUOTE]
