Try raising/lowering your tripod as well as moving left/right until you find that sweetspot where the glare is gone. As for covering the viewfinder, no, that is only important when you're shooting in very low light situations and the light leakage from the viewfinder will creep into the image. That wouldn't be an issue in a shot like yours. You could try using a CP but I doubt it will be nearly as effective as a simple re-positioning of your camera.Also, can you tell me why you have the exposure bias set at -3.7 steps?</blockquote>
