>>4147590a big part of photography is getting the light you want. part of being a better photographer (if that's your goal) is going out with purpose when the light lights a scene in a way that you want, rather than just going out whenever you feel like it and making do with whatever you get. you're free to do that of course, but you have to be ready to accept that the light will most probably not be what you'd want in an ideal scenario.
for scenes like this, you basically have a few options:
1. choose to prioritize the shadows and let the bright areas look extra bright
2. choose to prioritize the bright areas and let the shadows fall dark
3. try to get a blend of both, using shadow & highlight adjustments to get a higher dynamic range result (you have to be the most careful with this, because it can end up looking very unnatural easily. this is probably the worst option.)
the first 2 are very common choices and you'll see a lot of photos doing one or the other. it just depends on the look you're going for.
