Hummm???? I hope that didn't come out the way you meant to say it. To take an incident reading you usually want to hold the meter between the subject and the camera with the dome pointed toward the camera (needs to be in the same light as the subject). That will give you your base exposure. . The direction of the light doesn't make any difference. Closing down or opening up a stop or two will compensate for unusually light or dark subjects, if that is what you want to do
