Your light meter says the sky will be properly exposed at 1/500s. So, take the exposure at 1/250s. Flip it to 1/500 and shoot, then again at 1/1000 and shoot. Just be quick but don't shake the camera during the capture.
thanks Soulburner

fast is not an option for me, but I should have checked the manual. the DP1 has auto bracket of up to 3 steps and I was ignoring its existence..

I did a couple test shots yesterday but the results were pathetic. I will have to try again this weekend but I definitely need a better theme lol
