If you are using reflected light metering, be careful if you meter off of the sky, because it is emitting light, not reflecting it.

And be careful metering off of water, as smooth water reflects images, which can confuse the reading.

An averaged reading is only accurate if the reflectivity of the subject and the light falling on it averages out.

Thanks. What if I meter off the sky in the reflective mode and then the trees to see if there are a huge difference in the exposure values? I would assume the sky would have a higher value. If the difference isn't so great, I would assume averaging both values should give an accurate exposure reading.
