Some things to look for when taking a sunset picture is to look at all of your surroundings. The sunset might not be the only pretty thing. The light it reflects may give a pretty color in the sky behind you or beside you, and you can get a really great photo from that.
Also, make sure to stick around a little longer than you normally would. If you start taking pictures right when the sun sets then you will definitely get some good pictures, but there may be a better opportunity just a few minutes later. The darker the tone can sometimes mean the prettier the colors. So definitely be sure to wait around.
As you can see in the pictures about the picture on the left is an example of a lighter sunset, while the picture on the right is a darker sunset when someone waited. The multi colors are amazing in the photo to the right. It just goes to show that time can make quite the difference.
Also, trying out panoramas might be a good option. You can get a whole entire setting in one picture.
The photo above is a picture that I took the other day at Old Hickory Lake. It is a panoramic and you can see how from the left it transitions from a pink-blue color to a vibrant yellow where the sun was starting to set.
Sunset pictures are very fun to take and it great getting to see all the beauty that comes along with it!
