spot meter off the back of your hand.

i read that tip yesterday, and thought it was quite good. you might need to memorise a bit of exposure comp, since we have varying shades of hands among us.

hope it's useful to at least someone. i found it worked.

The back of your hand will get sunburnt as summer approaches.
The palm is more consistent.

yeah, meter off the palm then increase by a stop seems to be a common one.

never though of using this before. i don't know why.
