Don't know, don't own one. Maybe if you tilted it sideways? Or a circular polarizer? Just keeping you at the top....:-) Bob

Don't see how it could possibly work.

Thanks Bob & Kerry! I just wondered how to get a sky darker under these conditions. I find myself shooting on days like this a lot.

Hi Sharon, if you use a Lee Filter System for example, the filter is essentially a square or rectangle which fits into an adaptor that connects to the front of your lens. The filter slides into the adaptor (so you can move it up and down to match the horizon line), and the adaptor rotates, so you should be able to slide and rotate the filter to match the angle line where the rocks meet the sky. They aren't cheap, but they work great. Joe

Keep in mind though that its a straight line, so there will be a little overlap onto the rocks..

Thanks Joe! I have a split ND for my Cokin, but didn't use it thinking it probably wouldn't work with something that uneven. Next time I'll try that.

As a general rule of thumb, when you are metering the darker (important) parts of a scene such as this one, tilt your camera angle skyward to get a reading off the sky. In the attached example, I encountered a similar scenario and tilted the camera angle down a little to eliminate the sky and removed the risk of it being washed out and over-exposed.
