The camera, which I still had from the newspaper after shooting a volleyball game, locked up on me. When I restarted it, I didn't think to check the ISO. It set it at 800. Ah hell... Live and learn.

i think you could have taken a more effective photo if you simplified things. Seems messy to me. Too many branches and clutter. Also maybe you could have taken the photo at a better hour, like sunset, and had a more dramtic sky. Good luck anyway!!
good old 18mm...
for all-purpose control of bright skies, try duplicating the sky (select it and copy it to another layer) and set the layer's blending mode to "multiply." that often helps a lot.
This looks like the Binghamton University Nature Preserve....What happened to the tree! And why weren't you at the DPC Ithaca Get Together today?
(If this is not the BU preserve and you have no idea what I'm talking about, please forgive me...I'll edit later and give you a proper comment.)
