I meter my shot exactly the way I always do. I then change the shutter speed. I do not change the aperature because if you do that, it will change your depth of field and your images will not look the same. I usually go 2 stops up and 2 stops back, then depending on the amount of light I am working with I'll take another shot or two to over compensate for the light. i.e. if it is a bright shot, I'll get an extra shot stopped down another 2 stops.
