For lots of sunsets the interesting parts -- multihued clouds, sky fading

So if the sun is setting due west, the sunset scene that you want to
capture might stretch from the far southwest of the horizon to the far
northwest. A telephoto pointed at the sun would see only within a few
degrees of due west, whereas a 24mm or 21mm lens (wide angle and then
some) would get the whole scene.
Hi Paul,
On occasion a fisheye might be needed to capture all the colors. :-) For
example, I was facing the east with the sun at my back when I took this
shot last fall:
