This type of shot is the hardest to get right. It has a wide dynamic range. The background is of mountains and valleys with a very bright contrast. The foreground has people that want to be also evenly exposed.
If you take it at evaluative metering we'll get a silhouette effect. If you do spot metering the background would be completely white.
The only way I found that might work is to do a bit of fill flash. That means to still use your flash and under power it a bit. However, doing that is still not the best. As you can see in this photo, the background looks like a fake canvas in this case. Not to mention the weird color balance you need to deal with... Hmm...
I tried HDR as well, but it is hard to do that with people...
Anyway, thought I'd document this...
