I was out and about in London over the weekend and I was having trouble metering correctly for a particular shot - ill have to post the image itself up when I get home.

Basically though it was a nice sunny day and the subject (a woman) was in the shade with the sky behind her. I tried different metering modes, matrix, taking a spot reading from the woman and so on but I couldnt prevent the sky blowing out. What would be the best way to meter a scene like this?
 
well the flash is the one thing I didnt try so ill bear that in mind for next time. Luckily the RAW was a tad underexposed so I can hopefully bring out some detail in it - she was a really hot woman too :D
