It all depends on what you want. If you have a nice sunset, I would expose for the sky. If the barn is your focus, I would adjust exposure towards the shadows more.

That brings me to another question: should one always expose for the darkest or brightest part (depending on what he/she is trying to keep the details of) or does it depend on how much of something one is trying to show? Let's say there is a fox in the bushes. Do I expose for the fox or the shadow in which the fox is in?
