So, If I kept ISO at 100, f/8, that would allow for 1/30...which is getting closer to a setting that would allow for a richer sunset.

Kelly it just hit me!!!!
I guess I didn't pay full attention to the values the first time around.
I was driving home from my son's soccer game looking at the sunset when it dawned on me the values in this quote are wrong!!!
If you have a reading of f11 and a s/s 1/60th and open it up to F8 and 1/30th the scene would be overexposed. You cannot open the aperture and slow down the shutter to get the same values. If you wanted to get the same values of F11 and 1/60th you would have to go to
f16 and 1/30th. In other words if you have to go in the opposite directions (to lengthen shutter time you have to stop down and if you open aperture you have to have a shorter shutter speed.) So if we went by your quote by opening the aperture to f8 you would in fact have to have a shutter speed of 1/125th which is opposite of what you want to do.
Anyways, sorry I should have caught that the first time around, but I am glad I caught it.
