I will reiterate a conversation I once had with my photo mentor when
faced with a related situation where the dynamic range was just too much
for the film and camera. I started explaining the problem and his
immediate response was: "Don't take the picture there". I replied;
"Well, I think if I just..." and his more immediate response was: "Don't
take the picture there". Not to be defeated by a little technical
problem I said again; "But I think I can do it if I only..." and his
more immediate and, now, agitated response was: "Don't take the picture
there".
So my response to you is: "Don't take the picture there". :-) But, as
a practical matter and not to be defeated by technical problems you do
need to take that shot at the same exposure as the others. That's
what's needed to portray everything except the sun or moon in correct
relative brightness to the other parts of the scene. Your remaining
problem then is to take one or more additional exposures that can be
combined with the first such that you can tone down the overexposed sun
or moon. But it's easier if you don't take the picture there. :-)
