Aim for the horizon. You have to have the sun reflection not so bright to get the whole landscape. The camera likes to pick up all of the sunlight to make the picture lovely. I don't like to take sunrise/sunset photos mostly because of the light issue, plus I am a macro photographer. I only take few nearest regulate lighting.
