Could also be metering. What happens with digital is there's some kind of algorithm it uses to work out the exposure, so if you point it at a dark subject (trees) it lightens the whole shot so they're exposed properly.
I suppose the cheap way to fix it is point the focal point of the shot slightly more towards the sky, and turn your e.v. compensation down to -1. That will stop the sky from blowing out.
Got a tripod? You could get two photos of the same thing, one over exposed and one under and then blend them. |
If it was metered to the bright sky, wouldn't that mean losing a lot of detail in the darker foreground? I'm not too good with metering :/

A Circular Polariser would not work very well, especially at sunset. They tend to make the sky very blue. What he needs is a Neutral Density filter, which does exactly what you describe. Those cut the light by various Stops.
EDIT: sorry i didn't see your edit at the bottom. Sushipunk, I'm sure you know this, but you take some amazing photos. |
A circular polariser would only make the sky bluer if it was already blue. If the sky was white/grey like in the pic he posted, it should just make it darker, I think? I agree though, it's best used for a sunset, in most cases.
A full ND filter would also mean losing a lot of the details in the dark foreground, which is why I suggested a gradiated ND filter instead, so the light at the front could be keps as it is. I actually have one, but I've never used it  So I might be wrong 
And thanks
