It depends on what you want it to look like.

The camera doesn't know day from night and makes everything 18% regardless.

I'd say minus 2/3 stop to minus 2 stops is a reasonable range if you use average metering.

I think you'd probably like this better with the increased color at about minus 1 stop.

Until you get a feel for it just take one at minus 1/2, minus 1, minus 1 1/2, and minus 2
and see the difference.

A tripod would help prevent that fuzziness.
