[QUOTE="WhiteLight, post: 161744, member: 9556"] Your picture is fine. The sky is always going to be overexposed if you are metering for the landscape (which you should). You have some options to be able to work over the washed out sky- a) use a graduated filter (so the light entering the sensor is lesser than available) so the sky will be less washed out b) do some PP to have the same effect of a grad filter (but you must know if an image is completely washed out, it is almost impossible to get any detail back) c) alternately, shoot bracketed photos or a couple or more different exposures & use them in PS to combine both (or all) the images so that all areas of the final image have equal quality [/QUOTE]
