A light meter measures the light of what you want to take apicture of. It finds the "middle gray" and adds what it thinks is the right amount of light. In 1 picture I used the computer screen as a meter to measure middle gray. This made the light on the screen perfect, but also made everything really dark. In the 2nd picture I used my partner's skin. This added light to the picture so that she is very visible but in doing so made the computer screen so bright you cant see anything on it. Spot metering can help in situations where it is very dark but flash would take away from the picture.
