Sunset help!

[atvlady]

I have a Nikon 8700. I can do great photgraphy on everything EXCEPT sunsets. If I ake pictures without zoom they look great but as I zoom in, they are orangey/golden and far from the color of the sunset. No matter what setting I use I am not getting any different results, just the orangey color. Can someone please help me firgure out what I am doing wrong? Thanks...

Shoot raw then fix the color in post...

Or just fix colour in post. Slight adjustments in hue are well within the realm of even a snapshot taken on a cameraphone.

One issue at the time
