Shaun,with out picking on your particular pictures most of the sunsets shown here are only half a picture with the forground either blacked out due to exposure problems. Not wanting to teach any one to suck eggs what you see with your eye is not what the camera see's, so often an ajustment needs to be made. One way is to lower the camera and exclude to brighness of the sky this will give the fore ground a chance of being better exposed, holding the shutter button halfway then bring the camers back up and take the shot. All way's take more than one shot, exposing the fore ground and distance in the same way. I will admit you can't do this with a mobile phone or take shoot throw away camera's, but most reasonable camera's have this facility. Another aid to good sunset pictures is really a tripod and longer exposures, but as this is not all way practical especially when thundering across deserts and mountains on a bike . One thing to try is take the camera out of Auto mode and use Manual you will see when using a digi camera the instant results through the len as you troll through the various settings of apretures and shutter speeds. 4D
