Its not a simple answer. Maybe spot maybe area. Area is going to weight the darks. Spot obviously weights the bulb but depending on spot size could under expose a bit since its makimg the bulb 18% ish. And get a reiss not a gitzo. So much prettier.

My wife and I are going to a festival of lights.
I'm taking my Canon 5D2 with my 28-70 f/2.8L and 17-40 f/4 L. I have never shot Christmas lights and I'm looking for suggestions.
I'm thinking I'll use Evaluative metering or possibly Center-weighted average metering.
Any suggestions will be appreciated.
Thanks,
Bob
