Panoramic shot of changing light (sunset)

[delhi]

Hello,
I'm wondering how would you approach capturing a panoramic sunset scape? With the sun rising/setting, the light is bound to change making metering tricky. Do you lock the exposure with the first shot?

THanks.

I'm not a pro at all, but here is one I did last week. I just stiched them together and this is what I ended up with.

I took the show and then just panned to the next one.

I would approach it the same way I would any panorama.
Meter the scene.Set the camera to manual and shoot. The light won't change that much in the time needed.
No CP filters mind.

Astayton, time to clean that sensor I think.

I see this all over. How do you clean the sensor, and how do you know it needs cleaning?

BTW, the panorama above seems to curve in the middle. Any clues as to how to avoid this problem?

I would like to know also. I did the above from our balcony in Cancun. I just shot then turned and shot again.

I know I could crop out the beach, but I do like the beach.
