Josh,
It all depends on what you want to do. You are shooting a very high contrast situation. Are you more interested in the sky or the land. If it is a combo of both then you have a couple of options.
One option is to shoot one exposure correctly for the foreground the landscape in the case. And then shoot one exposure for the background, (sky) and then put them together in Photoshop.
There are a couple of issues that make this a challenge. One is that you have to shoot different exposure in manual mode, which takes time and some know how. The second issue is that you need a photo editing program, which also takes know how, time and money.
A second option is to used graduated filters which usually fit right over the lens. See the link below... I have no affiliation with polarpro, I think I picked my graduated filter up on Amazon. I use it more for video than stills.
I am not sure if you can get different densities from say a four to 16, but there are different colors. I think 8 is pretty common. I have one and use it to darken the sky if I am shooting real estate or construction. The "eye" tends to naturally gravitate the brightest object/s in your frame. So a large white sky is not usually something you want.
The important thing you need to consider when shooting is to know what you want BEFORE you shoot. Pre-visualization. I usually scout my location and try to figure where the best look is going to be with relation to the sun. A slight cloud cover early or late is a good thing for me.
Hope this helps, fire back at me with any questions you might have.
