I have heard a "professional photographer" described as someone who gets a good pixture every time they try.... because they have the knowledge to use their tools well under all conditions.

By the same token an "amateur photographer" will get good pixtures.... often but not every time.

When it comes to sunsets, I definitely shoot like an amateur.

Not because I don't know how to set the camera. But because I like the color surprises I get if I just put the camera in one of it's auto modes (I prefer Aperture) compose and shoot.

The colors that the camera sees are not the same as what your eye sees. 

So, check the screen after each shot. If you like it, keep it. If not, delete and shoot again.

Sunsets are always action packed.... the quality of the light and the colors that go with it are changing literally every few seconds.
