Subject: [Leica] How to capture gloom

Last week I was shooting in a redwood forest that was, for the most part, 
quite dark and yet there was also quite a bit of light in areas. In another 
location the entire forest was in deep shade and in another I was walking 
down a narrow defile with bright sky overhead but shooting wide open I was 
still at ISO 1600.

None of my photos convey what I saw in any of these cases. I tried pushing 
the exposure down which didn?t do the job. And I have played with the images 
in Lightroom, Photoshop to little effect. That sense of darkness and light 
just isn?t there.

Any ideas about how to capture this? I?d appreciate your thoughts.
