With reference to incident light:

Quote:

So: If you’re shooting mountains in the distance in a cloudless day, you can use the same reading you’re getting miles away, since the difference in distance from you and the mountains to the Sun is negligible.

True, but the intervening haze can make a huge difference, you will almost always get overexposure, possibly serious, if you use incident metering in this way.
