Do not be afraid to expose more, to build a bit more detail in the shadows. Of course, you are shooting in RAW mode, for the widest possible dynamic range. You want to have some detail in the darker areas of the image most of the time...unless of course, you're going for a semi-silhouette or silhouette effect. Exposure when shooting against the light is tricky--the exposure you give the scene in-camera can be very important to the final effect, and so it's best to have some options. Shooting right towards the light is one of the *few* situations where Auto-bracketing is something I use regularly...because it is totally,totally worth it to have different exposures, to see how each one can be manipulated.
