[QUOTE="Marcel, post: 316728, member: 3903"] My opinion is that spot metering would just be extremely unpredictable in a situation like this. One would be better to go manual, do a few test shots while increasing the exposure with opening the aperture or slowing the shutter speed until you get a nicely exposed picture and a workable histogram. Shooting in raw would also give you a lot more leeway when the post processing time comes. On a cloudy day like this, since you will be shooting to get details in the shadows, once you are satisfied with your settings, you could go and shoot all day and all your shots will be fine.
