Hello everyone,
Just been out to Cuerden Valley Park with my daughter to take a few pictures for the first time. I have included five of the pictures because I like the first two of them BUT I was having problems taking a picture I wanted and was looking at getting some advice (see pictures 3-5)

I know the first two pictures aren't landscapes etc but it is the landscape pictures I am having problems with.
The problem is that if I set the exposure correctly for the park the sky is just white even though it was an overcast day.
I reduced the exposure by a 1/3 each shot for 8 shots but some of the sky was still blown out even though the ground was black!
I was using a D200 with a Nikon AF-S 18-200mm f/3.5-5.6 VR2 DX ED IF
Do I need a filter? Am I just rubbish at taking pictures? Should I go back to my ixus?

Just added another one
