[QUOTE="Blacktop, post: 638768, member: 22693"] I pretty much shoot BIF in spot metering, but once in awhile I'll switch to matrix depending on whether I care about only getting the bird exposed correctly or the whole scene. It also depends on the available light as well. Let's say it's a dreary overcast day and I'm already at high ISO I'll use spot metering and try to focus on the darker part of the bird, so it will be exposed correctly so I won't have to pull up too much shadow in post. If it's a sunny bright day where I'm using low ISO then I have more leeway and not have to worry much about dark areas. Usually I'll fire off a few shots, look at my results and make changes as necessary. If you need a simple answer, then I almost always use spot metering for my bird shots. [/QUOTE]
