As I intend to buy a camera that lacks an exposure meter, I?ve just bought my fi rst spotmeter (Pentax Digital). I use color film and my main subject is scenery, mostly woods (trees, rocks, clearings...) at all seasons. Right now, before try ing the spotmeter outdoors, I?m wondering what to point it at: tree trunks? I su ppose foliage could be of some interest as it reflects around 18-25 %. But at th is time of the year, only coniferous trees show some green. Is there any kind of simple metering from which to start or is multiple metering and averaging the o nly way to use the spotmeter?
