4.19 Physical Lights

I’m not sure if anyone answered exactly yet why this example doesn’t work so I wanted to clarify. f/8 is not the same as EV100 8. Aperture is only one variable in the equation and EV100 is the total result.

  • The first image is using fixed exposure of EV100 8

  • The second image is using 1/125s, f/8, and ISO 100 it looks like.

  • we can use a calculator to figure out the EV100 number Exposure Calculator

  • the result of those camera settings is EV100 13, which makes the image appear 5 stops darker.

Maybe it’d be nice to work with variable shutter *or *f-stop (*or *ISO), but the result is always a brighter or darker image and EV100 gives us this in one simple number. Documentation would help
