SUNSETS and SUNRISES!!!

What all can be done to pull the colors out of the clouds while keeping the ground silhouetted without an ND filter?

If I understand your question, it's not too difficult if we want the ground silhouetted. Just under expose a tad, let's say -1/3 or -2/3 EV, and the colors in the sky will be rich, while the ground will be dark. Much more difficult if we want to not have the ground that dark. Then we'll need a ND grad. Or bracket exposures and combine in post.

Lovely warmth in that Havannah. And nicely balanced light.

A little fun for a school project.

No PP other than the layer masks to blend it.
