Blown-out Sky

I'm a bit puzzled as to why the sky is washed-out in the examples illustrated. Conditions were sunny, blue sky and white clouds. K5 set to AV mode, F11 and auto ISO, centre weighted metering. Metered on the trees on the far bank of the lake. CPL fitted on the lens (Sigma 18-50). The first image is a JPG straight from the DNG (no processing), second image the JPG from the camera, last DNG processed in Lightroom 4. If it's human error, I can live with that, if I know where I went wrong. Other images from other locations around the lake didn't suffer the washed-out skies. Regards Adrian

I have to say I find the K5's built in HDR function little more than a gimmick, and a pretty poor one at that. Far better to bracket shots and do it yourself, you can also do it from one image at a push.
