One of my first pictures that I took after buying the Canon 40d. For almost half the exposure, I kept my hand over the sky area so it didn't blow out. Could have taken 2 photos and played around with HDR, but try and do everything possible to get the picture I want out of the camera first without having to play around much with it in PS. Unfortunatly havn't got any gradient filters yet to play around with, my wife's a tad upset already on my expense this month....
