Great photos start with good exposures (even if these exposures are later enhanced in the digital darkroom). These purists (and I) do want you to understand exposure. 30 Understanding Exposure Even the purists know that it sometimes makes sense to use one of the semi-automatic exposure modes that I’ve already mentioned in passing.

If necessary, you can point your camera at the significant parts of your image for your light measurement, and then restore your composition for the actual photo. Spot metering is a great tool for getting a light reading off the most important areas of your photo, and ignoring portions of the photo that are both very different in light intensity from your important area and also unimportant to your final results.
