Is it advisable to use spotmeter on the face of a subject with a strong 
backlight for portrait outdoors in the shade?  Just using my M6 metering and 
sometimes I underexpose the subject, sometimes I get it right.  What am I 
doing wrong or should I just have to avoid lighting situations like that 
altogether?
