Photography Question

Graduated ND filter


 
 
I'm just starting out with sunset photography and I'm having a little trouble with the lighting, seeing as the sky is so much brighter than the foreground. I tried merging photos with different exposure into HDRs but I'm not really satisfied with the results (the attached image is about the best I can do, which is not nearly as good as some photos I've seen).

I'm wondering if it would be better to get the photos right in-camera with some P Cokin graduated ND filters?

And I'm also a little confused about what I need to buy to get a p cokin filter working with the camera (which is 55mm threaded). Is it the 55mm P455 adapter ring, plus the "Cokin ND Graduated Filter Kit P Series" that comes with some different graduated nd filters and a filter holder?
