Kamion, no.1 does need a filter attached to the lens.
No.2 will require a tripod. It's then a simple case of switching the camera to manual and metering for the shadows and highlights and shooting.
The best way, if your not sure, is to take a shot on auto and note the exposure. Then switch to manual and underexpose the next shot then set the camera to overexpose the following shot. Some cameras can do this automatically, it's called exposure bracketing.
