>>3684749There are no easy answers. Just keep your eyes open and look at the light you're getting. With sun out, situations change in minutes. Nothing wrong about blowing highlights like a moron above is claiming either. In fact, when you know it's challenging situation with direct sunlight and harsh shadows, it's what you expose for. Be sure you don't have a lot of them, and expose so they clip a little. That way you'll get shadows in check and proper exposure. Mind that his only counts for specular highlights, sky and bokeh balls. Never overexpose for highlights on the leaves or tree bark.
