Spot metering is great for landscapes if the scene is evenly lit, (if the light source is behind you or 45 degrees back left/right) Use the spot meter on a mid tone (gray card or something in the mid range like concrete/road etc Sunsets can be tricky to meter whatever method you use depending on the light conditions. I never use multi focus for landscape as the center focus point is always the most accurate. For landscape I generally use a stopped down aperture and focus 1/3 ish into the frame (other more complex methods too.)

The Truth is Out There
