Below are four photos where Multi-spot metering was used. The maximum readings used were four, on the photo of the construction site.

Two spot readings: One on the foreground building and another in the background

Three readings: On the red bunting, the shadowed city skylines and the river

Two readings: On the front panel of the train, its track and the roads below

Four readings: On the green dome, the shadowed blue building, the cleared land and the trees in the foreground
Spot Metering Gallery

The photo gallery in this section is slightly different from those found in previous issues of The Art of Photography. Accompanying the photos are captions detailing how the effects were achieved using Spot metering alone or applying exposure compensations (where applicable) or resorting to self-styled "Multi-spot metering" technique. All photos were shot with the Canon EOS-1N camera that has no Multi-spot metering feature.
