Expose for something other than either of the "two subjects"; a median exposure. Sometimes a graduated Neutral Density filter can work in these situations, holding back the sky exposure in this case. You might also be able to adjust for a long exposure (tripod) using a very small aperature and then manually block some of the sky for a portion of the exposure.
And then there are always PP techniques. I generally find for PP an underexposed image is better than an overexposed image with highlights blown out...
