Sky

[Zetec]

On Sunday I went out and took some pictures which included the sky I was not happy with them on the camera screen. And when I got home and down loaded them I was even more unhappy as the sky is rubbish in them all. I have no idea what I am best of doing to sort it out would I be able sort in photoshop or would I need ND filters.

why not upload the pics so others can see and maybe give you some critique... what do you mean your not happy with the pic? colours? or something else?

nd grad filters would be good, or shoot raw and do some HDR or shoot raw and use one raw file to make a pseudo hdr image.

Photoshop won't really help in this case as the sky has 'whited' out and i doubt there is any image info there to work with. It's difficult to expose for both sky & ground at the same time and graduated ND filters would help in this respect.

Yes, these situations are always problematic.
A strong grad would have helped and bracket exposures to see what one has the best effect.
"Blown" skies never look good.
