A graduated ND filter would be most helpful; this filter is darker in the top half, transparent on the bottom half. This has the effect of decreasing the exposure on the sky (top) but leaving the ground exposure unchanged.

This type of filter can help reduce the difference in exposure values between the bright sky and the darker foreground for a more balanced shot.
