is it possible to capture the sunset in the background without making the subject to be underexposed without a flash? i dont have any flash mount (only the built in on my 300d) so i cant do a fill flash.

I think you will get fill flash if you set it for Av or Tv, using the built-in flash.

At what distance to the foreground? With what ISO?

Do you have anything strange set in exposure compensation or flash exposure compensation?
