What is the rule of thumb for exposing for digital? Should you shoot for the highlights or for the shadows?
For me the type of metering depends on the scene. Sometimes I use a dedicated meter for incident metering. More often (for convenience) I use the meter in my camera, but then sometimes centre-weighted, sometimes spot, and sometimes trusting the matrix metering while using past experience to judge its accuracy and adjust if necessary.
