So if you set it on a light part, like the white of the license plate, the overall shot will be under exposed.Same way if you metered for a dark area of the car. The dark area will be correctly exposed, but the lighter areas will be over exposed.I wouldn't use spot metering on a scene like that myself, unless I wanted to achieve something specific.There is a whole lot more to spot metering, perhaps someone with more time and knowledge could chime in.</blockquote>
