Hi, I’d say make sure they expose for the brightest part of the sky that isn’t the orb of the sun itself. Usually I advise people to go manual exposure and keep checking on the back of the camera and the histogram to make sure the image is as they want. Usually this means foreground objects like trees and animals end up as silhouettes. Make sure that there’s not too much black negative space at the bottom of the image. Other factors are: use a low ISO and white balance can be cloudy or shade or just shoot in raw and change it later. Hope that helps!
