The fact that Chris posted it here with his question " Have been pondering sky corrections on multi-plane landscapes as it seems impossible to get an exposure that does everything in imperfect light " suggests that his camera might not have been able to do justice to the high dynamic range. I was not there so only assume that to be the case.
N.D. filters have been used for ages to assist in this. The camera does not lie but is not as capable as the human eye in dealing with high contrast scenes. If you do not have an N.D. filter then in old fashioned printing terms holding back the sky would be acceptable practice. How you deal with that digitally is another question, which I guess is what Chris is asking.
