The hour or so right around sunset is one of the best times to capture beautifully colored long exposures. It is much more challenging than shooting under a full moon, however, as the light is constantly changing. The rewards are well-worth the effort!
I use graduated neutral density filters, a tripod, and a remote release to capture sunset scenes. The warm, colorful evening light is ideal for landscape shooting.
