Shooting Info:
Camera: D70
Metering: Centre weighed average
Time: 1/90
F-stop: 3.5

I need help

:

The sky is terrible...

It seems to be over-exposed with a lot of purple fringing around the branches. The fine details of the branches also appear to be lost.

Can a polarising filter help to enable the camera to render some blue sky eventhough there is a lot of cloud cover?

Can the purple fringes be digitally removed?

Criticism are also most welcome as I am still new to photography
Thanks for looking

A polarising filter is not a magic trick. It doesn't disintegrate clouds and reveal blue skies. PS can do that for you.

Why choose centre weighted for metering? Doesn't the D70 offer any other better metering (for this case) instead?

Thanks for the advice anyway.

Well there is the matrix metering as well... But just experimenting with other metering modes thats all.

Thanks for looking
