I've just got my tripod today, just been outside tryng to photograph the sunset but it so much didnt work. Not sure what i'm doing wrong. I have a Nikon d300 and a tokina 11-16mm I put it on manual, but no matter what settings i put it i either got the sky and everything else around it was total blackness or if i got the surroundings lit up it burnt all the details out the sky.

:s
 
Your going to need a nd grad i would say!
But im a novice also.
You could go for getting the sky and silhouette of the buildings.
 
The dynamic range of the scene is too great, ie the sky is too bright to get the ground correct and the ground is too dark to get the sky correct.

In this case you either have to take multipl different shots and merge them together to get one complete scene or use neutral densirty graduated filters which partially block the sky so you can take one single picture with everything visible
 
arh ok cheers guys, so what sort of filters are good? there are one like uv filter caps that fit on ** camera and those square gradient glass squares right?
 
Square filter holder for the ND grads, as the grad is slid up or down the shot to just do the sky. The rest of the scene is just shot through the rest of the clear glass, i need to get some myself.
