Faisal,
Other people's tips are valid. However, it's also possible that you may
be overexposing, through using the camera's meter reading with the
polarizer in its 'darkest' position. TTL metering causes this problem
with polarizers, although it works well enough with other types of
filter.
Try taking an exposure reading with the polarizer rotated so it has
minimum effect, then use that reading to control the exposure after you
have rotated the polarizer to darken the sky.
