If your shooting landscapes you need ND filters. The natural density graduated filters are measured in ‘stops’ using a logarithmic scale; 0.3 = 1 stop, 0.6 = 2 stops, 0.9 = 3 stops. Use them, you will find your landscape images will improve dramatically, all without having to use photoshop.
Exposure meter not working? Then remember the f/16 rule. A scene on a bright sunny day is f/16 at 1 over the ISO setting, if your ISO is set to 100 set your speed to 1/100 sec at f/16.
