Don't worry. We all take that picture. Sometimes more than once. I did a pano a page or two back.
If there are no clouds, I like shooting at twilight, which is the period 20-30 minutes after sunset. Colors are extremely saturated, building lights start to come on, and the boring cloudless sky has so many tones and areas of light and dark. I took one a few pages back of a driftwood stump and a harbor shack in Victoria that was at twilight. Not much done to the colors and the sky was like a Neapolitan ice cream with red, pink, blue, purple and no sun in the horizon. It trips people out.
You'll need a tripod and, for the best effect, ND and grad ND filters but the look, especially if you get lucky and lights start coming on while the sky is still pretty bright, is pretty surreal. People ask if its HDR and you'll say no.
