There are several ways to deal with this sun glare. 1) recompose the pic without the sun glare in the picture, take a meter reading and then use that reading to shoot with the sun glare in the pic. Ignore your meter reading. The sun glare will be overexposed but that's okay. It's probably what drew you to the pic in the first place.
2)Always carry a gray card. Take a meter reading off it and go with it. 3) If your camera has spot metering take a few readings off the subject and use that reading, once again ignoring the camera meter. Don't forget your camera meter is just a starting point. It gives you middle gray. Anything at the two extremes means you will have to figure out the correct exposure on your own. It's not difficult and once you start shooting the "extremes" your pictures will improve greatly. That's when you get the drama.

I did snap another one on the old Molsen building in B&W reflected off the Alliance Atlantice building that was right since there was no glare involved.>> - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List.
