Think about using a graduated filter to highlight the sky. These filters are pretty economical and they are able to often help
stay away from that overblown sky.
When you’ve taken all your photographs, you can process them. It’s worthwhile to understand editing software like Photo
shop. If you don’t like software that is overly difficult to learn try Picasa by Google – that’s free, too.
