That won't give you a balanced exposure: it will ensure that you can see the details in the shadows.

Your choices are:

1. Use filters on the camera to reduce the overall contrast across the frame.

2. Decide what the most important parts of the picture are and expose for them.

3. Get in closer so that you don't have such a wide range of light and shade in frame.

4. Take several shots and fix the exposure in post-processing.
