Paul_Yeo said:Yes, i know Spot Metering is the best. But the problem is: i sometimes dunno where to meter.
Eg, if i am taking photo of a wedding couple, shld I meter the face? or her white gown?
scenario being, the couple is on a beach.

benedium said:thought he can spot meter an area on the landscape that is around 12/18% grey and/or play with abit of exposure compensation around that... or am i wrong?
student said:Er, how are you going to get an incident meter on the mountain ranges some miles away?
ortega said:bracket bracket bracket, shoot one picture and get that shot right
It is better to shoot just one composition and get it right
that shooting 10 shots that are not keepers.
BTW sunrise/sunset the light changes so rapidly that you cannot spot meter and calulate fast enough, the matrix meter is really good for standard scenes like sunrise/sunsets. Get to know your camera and what it can and cannot do
knoxknocks said:i always use incident and light meter interchangably - although that's obviously not correct . For mountain ranges and far away objects, gotta use the spot meter on the light meter lor. Get highlights and shadows and use your "computer" to calc.
I normally use matrix because I believe in leveraging on technology. However, if I know that the exposure is obviously wrong cos the chip is screwing up, then I can compensate accordingly or take manual readings lor...
That in no way detracts from the fact that one still needs to understand and master exposure. :thumbsup:
