overcast day, got any tips?

Ok been out with the camera today and it was mainly overcast, there are a couple of shots I like (out of 70 ha) but obviously the sky is grey and naff, is there an easy way to place a nice blue sky I have from another pic, or do I have to just cut the landscape off using the extract option in CS2 and overlap the two pictures?

oh yeah here are the pics doh!

the colours look alot better in cs2 must have been when I saved for web!

overcast for me means black and white conversions.. I don't try to saturize color where there was non.. and I think the first shot would lend itself very nicely to black and white.

On a grey day, shoot detail; go for close-ups of interesting features. Also, head for the woods. you'll gave far less problem with contrast as you should have a more even light to play with You've done well with the light you had; that one of the cottage cries out for another day with a blue sky and fluffy clouds.

Most importantly. just enjoy whatever the weather throws up!

they were east facing shots, if they only had been west facing the sky was a little nicer but the sun was there and spoiled it a little, here is one of the castle ruins a little closer
