In this case, I need to darken the sky by 1 or 2 stops to balance the exposure. Am I making sense?
If so, how many stops will a yellow filter bring down a blue sky? How about yellow orange?
If not, how would you accommodate a 3 to 4 stop variance between sky and foreground? For me in Arizona, that's a normal day; a ton of sunshine!!
