technique for exposure

I used to flip-flop between matrix, center and spot metering as the situation changed and found it not to be not as consistent as I would want. So based on a tip on the web, I went to matrix-metering 99% of the time. Matrix-metering is what we pay for when we buy a camera so it works quite well. Of course it will still have problems when there is back lighting or dark or white areas. So the trick is to shoot with matrix setting first, check the LCD and adjust the exposure compensation until satisfied.
