Yesterday evening, after the 2-day front of storms passed, there were incredible clouds along with blue sky, sunlight stripes and shadows. This was about 7 pm est, with 2 hours left of light. I composed shots to have 2/3 ground, 1/3 sky or vice versa. In both compositions, my skies turned out perfectly, but the trees and fields were too dark where the sun wasn't shining. They even appeared as silhouettes in places, although there appeared to be plenty of light. These were trees lining or in a field, not in the woods. I tried adjusting exposure, but would then lose the definition of the clouds against a blue sky. Should I have used a higher ISO (I was using 320)? I try to avoid too much grain, or "noise, as they say in digital".Or should I have kept playing with exposure settings? If so, what would you suggest? I'm using a 6 megapixel digital SLR (Fuji S1 pro).
Of course, in photoshop, I can lighten up the ground and trees, but the noise is also amplified, and unless I print small prints, the ground/trees appear very grainy.
Thanks
