Hey guys,
Started off taking photos as a hobby some 12 months ago (with a D60 on loan) and I'm having some trouble with bright white clouds in taking photos. Basically, when taking photos on a bright day that's completely overcast I find that the sky looks really overexposed (i.e. blank) and bleeds onto the landscape. When I try to counteract that I get a really dark scene with relatively detailed clouds. I mostly use my 10-24mm Nikon lens on my D5500. I don't use a tripod. In these conditions I tend to use a Hoya Pro1 CPL.
This isn't a problem on clear or partially cloudy days as the blue sky is a gentler contrast to the landscape.
Some google searches haven't been too fruitful so personal advice or references to some websites would be very helpful.
