So I have been messing around with photoshop even more since I made those maps for the park and I started using it to edit some of my trip photos that didn't turn out how I wanted them too. I was having troubles on cloudy days when my (kinda crappy) camera would either overexpose the sky, turning it white in the photo, or underexpose the landscape, turning it a ugly dark mass. So I decided to take some of these overexposed photos and just edit in the appropriate sky so that they looked normal again, and I would have nice pics from my trip. This is still a learning process, but so far I have been happy with my results. Check out a few of the pictures that I touched up.
The Colosseum
The Pantheon
Meteora
I have a lot more of these photos but Im sure you get the idea. I didnt edit all of them, just a few of them that would make great photos. This last pic I was just seeing how much I could get away with, but its definitely my favorite so far. It was a lot of fun to come up with and make.

Looks great Justin! I really like the Meteora pic.
Here's a trick for those cameras- point it at the sky and hold down the shoot button half way, this will set the exposure to the sky. Take the picture. Then take the pic with the exposure set for the scene, then put the sky and the scene together. Is this how you did it?
I actually didnt come up with this idea to edit the pictures until I was already back in Bulgaria, but now that I know that I can combine the two, I might start taking two pics like you just said. It should work pretty good I think.
