Photography Question 

Cindy
 

sun facing camera


I want to take a picture of a barn with the sun facing the camera. I took a few already but the barn was really dark. You can hardly make out what it is. How would I take a meter reading? Would I take it in the shaded area facing the camera or would I take it from the camera into the light?

  You could do exactly what you asked, but then you would have a decently exposed barn, and over exposed, washed out everything else.
Best bet is to shoot it from another angle, or different time during the day when it is not in the shade.
