and if you will be shooting that type of stuff, you'll want to grab a good tripod while you are at it.

Be careful about overexposing the sky. When you blow the sky out and it ends up solid white it really takes away from the photo. A Graduated ND filter is going to help you as much (or more in certain instances) than a polarizer. If you get a polarizer make sure to get a circular polarizer. Also if you plan to upgrade from the kit lens then you might hold off on filters since a 52mm filter won't fit if you get something new that has a 67mm thread size.

it was hard doing that, the sky was all one color really, just all gray

Sorry, but was that response to me or the OP? I've confused because you quoted me but I didn't post any pictures in this thread.
