Car's looking awesome, Antti 
Can't add much advice to photography - I'm just starting to learn it myself - but I hope this is the first of many of your attempts, if you know what I mean

Metering is the camera processing the available light from a specified area and then exposing the image accordingly.

Thanks Vlad! I guess I have to combine and share the beautiful fall colors we're having now and E60 before the snow comes .

If I may make a small suggestion..... i have found when photographing in low light situations, I take 3 images by setting up my camera to take a multi exposure shot in RAW.
I go for around 2.5 stops under, correct and 2.5 stops over exposure. I then use PS and combine layers of certain parts so that the areas blown out can be substituted.
It gives you the ability to bring out natural colours and detail without having to really push/manipulate the photo exposures. It is quite simple to do and I can show you how if you are interested.
Here is an example of a night shot.....

Combining them is called HDR, I think someone else mentioned that earlier on in the thread.

I've tried doing HDR pics but I haven't got any good results yet. I have to learn to use the programs better.
