Came across this recommendation from lifehacker to essentially try to overexpose rather than underexpose when shooting tricky lighting conditions, so that it can be more easily post-processed.

This flies in the face of the usual recommendation to underexpose rather than overexpose, as detail can be recovered from the shadows more easily than from overexposed areas. Their argument is that bumping up exposure usually introduces noise...

I don't know - maybe I shouldn't be reading photography tips from a non-photography blog...
