Hmm....this would be a tough one. Normally, I'd say split neutral density filter, but having the leaves in the sky portion, don't know what that'd do. Ah, what the heck...I'll still say split neutral density filter with metering for what you want to expose correctly (shadows, mids, or highlights). Of course, there is another solution. Jordy would probably call you a nutter or crazy bloke and tell you to not shoot directly into the sun. :) -=>Donald
