I recently wrote an article about metering for landscape photography, in which I discussed some of the general guidelines I use for shooting high-contrast scenes. Among other things, I noted how it's better to underexpose a high-contrast landscape scene than to overexpose it, due to the fact that our cameras are so good at recovering shadows, and so bad at recovering highlights. But what if the dynamic range in the scene is too great? What if the sky is so bright that to expose for it properly, you end up with a photo that's dark to the point at which the shadows are so clipped that they can't be recovered without introducing a bunch of noise into the final image? Well, there are two ways to approach the problem: you can "exposure bracket," or shoot a series of photos of the same scene, one after another, at different exposures and blend the images together in post, or you can use a graduated neutral density (ND) filter to darken the sky in-camera for a properly exposed shot.
