In digital, I use spotmeter on the most highlighted zone, then I open 2 or 3 stops. It will depend on your camera. And it fits ETTR method. Because I dont trust the histogram much on my camera.
The histogram is showing you what the Jpeg rendering looks like and is affected by the film simulation and processing parameters for Jpegs. If you use the latest simulation and don't dial in any shadow/highlight corrections the histogram will be closer to what the are is capturing. But I don't worry about it too much, I really only use the Histogram to see if I'm badly blowing anything out.
Thank you. Very interesting.
Very enjoyable……..
