Sunset, land is silhouetted. How do I prevent?

A graduated ND filter will help bring out more foreground detail, but after sundown some silhouetting will still occur. For a detailed look at how these filters work:

Sorry, the hot-link didn't work :( Here's the ND filter web site : http://www.photofocus.com/zine2/zine9.htm

As has been stated, use of a ND filter will help, but will not completely do what you wish. You can also make two (or more) exposures. One for the sky/sunset (which will darken the foreground), one for the foreground (which will blow out the sky highlights). Then, combine the two (or more) exposures using layers in software such as Jasc Paint Shop Pro or PhotoShop. I can't post an example now...my shots are on another machine. I'm sure there are others who have some examples though.

Outstanding! I should have thought of that myself. Thanks for the tip!

Use Photoshop CS and adjust the image in shadows/highlights, and it will bring the foreground out and leave the sky as was. It works wonders.

Another option you might try is what Bryan Peterson calls "Brother Sky". Take your exposure from the sky without the sun in the frame and use that setting to take your shot. If you change either aperture or speed settings maintain the same relation between them that you got from the sky setting
