Useful Photography Tip #180: Spot Meter A Portrait For the Skin, Focus on the Eyes

Useful Photography Tip #180: Spot Meter A Portrait For the Skin, Focus on the Eyes
Here's yet another quick portrait photography tip for lots of photographers who have been reading the meters of their cameras but getting the readings wrong. You see, light meters in cameras tend to read a scene and meter for what you tell it to meter for. So with that said, if you're metering a portrait, the scene will be metered for the entire scene in the evaluative setting. Photographers have otherwise tried spot metering. Spot metering up until recently took a meter reading of the center of the image and then you recomposed based on that. But these days, you have the option to set the spot metering up with the actual focus point itself.
