If the subject is backlit and, say, a human being, photographers tend to use fill flash. If you don't know what fill flash is: http://www.learn.usa.canon.com/resources/articles/2011/fill_flash_use_EOS_article.shtml (EDIT: here's another one: http://www.flickr.com/photos/wizwow/2229086928/)
In the case of a backlit coastal scene, you may not be able to illuminate the foreground with artificial lighting. You may however be able to recover some shadow detail in post-processing, if the detail is retained in the photograph data.
EDIT: The point is that not all scenes are the same. Some scenes provide you with too much contrast. In the extreme cases, if you're not careful, then you get a black silhouette as your subject and a washed out background.

Ok, you made me laugh... talking about fill flash when we are talking about photos made with a 25mm lens on that "MF" Pentax. <img src='http://forum.photozone.de/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='
