For metering I use a grey card combined with a spotmeter. I try to get a decent reading of the grey card, but it depends on the lighting in the scene. I then use the spotmeter on the highlights and shadows to see how I might change it and also to see whether the film I'm using has enough dynamic range to capture everything. Waterfall shots are very difficult when the sun is shining, as the white water burns out and the shadows go black....standard slide film problem:-(
Hope that helps?
