So I've been learning from the book "Understanding Exposure" for a few days now but there are a few things that still arent clear to me. I understand the use of aperture (depth of field) and shutter speed (motion effects) and correct exposure.
The problem for me is taking a light reading to create a correct exposure. Where do I take the reading from? I know this is completely different for every situation so I will give some examples.
In each of these pictures can you tell me where the reading was taken and why?

the last one is from bryan peterson's book the others I just collected over the months since I got broadband.
BTW im using an olympus OM2, the manual says it has "TTL direct 'OTF' light metering" if it makes any difference.
