I learned that I can't effectively take a photo of a person with the sunset in the background without using a flash.
Here's what I'd try in that lighting situation: Take two shots with different exposures. In the first one, spot meter on the face. In the second, do an overall average metering of the whole scene. That way you can avoid using the flash.
