You asked for techniques and get pictures without exifdata as answer,here some tips from a beginner.Try to avoid to put the sun deadcenter to make a fine composition. Shoot in manual mode and centermeter for a part in the sky a little bit aside from the sun.Preferable shoot RAW so you can adjust WB and exposure in PP, don't stare through the viewfinder too much in the sun, you may hurt your eye. To have a lighter foreground make more exposures from the same scene on a tripod and change only shutterspeed, so you will have the foreground right exposed and the sky too. These pictures you can blend to have a wider dynamic range.A ND filter is a very good option too. You may google some on this.Good luck, btw your pic is very fine....
 
You got my problem. Photo is grainy and a lot of noise. I thought because it was handheld but maybe you are correct that my exposure setting the one I need. Have to go back again and try different settings that all of you has suggested. Thanks!
 
I don't quite have the "skilz" to make the power lines go away, but here is a nice red sunset after a storm blew through Northern Kentucky Jun 3rd 2007

Morris, thanks a lot for the advise. Actually I was having trouble to say the story about the sunset I took. Yours is a lot nicer than mine and I can compose of few lines about the photo (I rather have it with my own shots :-). I know patience is a virtue here so I have to come back and try it again.
 
a bit over saturated for my taste but it made me utter "ooo" out loud. Very nice!!!
