This is always an option at sunrise or sunset but you have to remember that if you do then the range of light is going to be so great that the foreground is going to be darkened out and most of the detail will be lost. You can bring back those areas with the shadow slider in ACR but that will create more noise which will have to be dealt with. If you use plus exposure comp when taking the photo then you will have bright highlights which can also lead to loss of info. If you’re worried about either of these elements then you can try to hide the sun behind an object, like a tree, which will change the light ratio and create more beams of light. There are so many options it just depends on what you want to do.
