Now that it's daylight savings time, the sun goes down late enough that I can actually photograph it. And I'm trying to get it right, now that I have a tripod I'm happy with. Here are my first few attempts, taken from the Brooklyn Heights Promenade:

I wanted to get the sun inside the cloud but I was too late :(

Neat light...I actually lost my best shots in this series because of a big lens flare

Last light - this required almost no color correction

Anyone got tips on how to do these better? I had a hard time getting the exposure right...on a lot of my shots, I pointed away from the sun, cropped, and adjusted in Photoshop. I'm also not terribly sure about my composition.
