[QUOTE="N_Addy, post: 72302, member: 9985"] Kinda depends on what your goals is (do you want to bring out other parts of the photo)? For just a sunset I meter on a spot close to, but not directly on, the sun. If there are clouds in that area I would meter on the brightest spot of the clouds. Even after doing this it's often necessary to stop down a full stop (or more). I take a shot and check highlights to decide whether this is necessary.
