Please have a look at these two shots. One's too dark, none of the colors I tried to capture, and in the other the sky is (almost) completely white. Both were shot with K200D and the kit lens (18-55) in landscape mode. I have this problem a lot (the white sky). What can I do to resolve it?
The sky is full of white (or very light gray) clouds. You are not going to get a blue sky when there is no blue sky in the scene.
And, all that white tends to make your image underexposed, such as in the second shot. You must give it an extra stop or so of EV compensation.
Either shoot on a blue-sky day, or include less of the sky.
Shooting RAW can help because it gives you more latitude in post-processing.
