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 :wtf: So I might be wrong :p
And thanks :) |

So that's what they're called, sounds nicer than 'Squawking Cat Bait' and 'Bloody Feathered Ruin' that they used to end up around here. :o |

Canon = Nikon
I've been a canon person, but i always recommend both brands to people...face it, they go hand in hand with everything. Its a win win situation if you go with either. |

Agreed.
The placement of the watermark is really annoying though :p |
