How are you all so bad at metering.
The only way to meter is with one of these with the bulb out pointed at the main light source. It will give the actual correct perfect exposure every time.
You may consider -1 stop from the reading for a sunset if you want that mood.
Also don’t be an idiot, if you are standing under the shade of a tree but photographing a mountain out in the sunshine, you obviously go meter the sun as that’s the light hitting your subject.
It could not be more simple.
