[QUOTE="Bikerbrent_RIP, post: 578998, member: 42081"] According to your shooting data, you already have exposure compensation set at -0.33 which is 1/3 f stop under exposed. You are fighting an extreme contrast issue where the sky is very bright and the trees in shadow are quite dark. In fact, I am more concerned with the loss of shadow detail than the blown out sky. What time of day were you shooting? Obviously not at 15 minutes after midnight on Jan 1, 2005. There is no filter that will help you out because anything you do to darken the sky will also darken the shadow areas. Perhaps some fill flash to lighten some of the dark areas would be helpful.
