bright sky help

[Ogden2k]

Hi, I am having a problem with landscape photos that have a bright sky, are there any tweaks / settings that I can do so the photos come out a little better?

The problem is that the sky is brighter than the ground and everything else in the photograph? Take a look at this filter to see if it solves the problem. Cokin makes a Graduated Grey filter that's a lot less expensive but still pretty good.
