    Y'might want to run that by the movie crews who spend a bunch of time and money lighting scenes to control the exposure...

    It must be nice to deliberately post something known to be incorrect and then to bask in the number of responses telling one how wrong one is ...

    ... is there a particular psychology involved?

    Whether anyone feels blacks or shadows in an image they are viewing on their monitor needs lifting or not will depend to some extent on the brightness the monitor is set to.

    A given image viewed on a screen calibrated to 80 cd/m2 might look a little dark compared to it being viewed on a screen calibrated to 190 cd/m2 where it might look OK.

    The sad thing is that if you read through DonaldB's posts he genuinely believes his thread title is true 🙂

    He basically has his own definition of exposure which is how light or dark an image looks on the medium it is being viewed on.

    I'm wondering how Pete knew what the scene brightness was ...

    Here's one for foot-candles ... easily converted to lux:

    3EV between very black skin and light caucasian skin and yet "I set the exposure and scene lighting the same" LOL

    (Hmmm Kodak vs. DonaldB... taka taka taka ...sound of biplane spiraling down etc)

    Kodak - a Law unto themselves - why on earth did they choose millilux - a seriously small amount of illuminance?

    Are they trying to bring some resolution to starlight or moonlight?

    Based on experience in threads here, the answer is clear.

    you dont light scenes to control exposure, you light scenes to how you want the subject or scene to look.

    What if you are using a flash or studio lights? You can leave the shutter open for as long as I want and have a pitch black file until the flash illuminates the scene, and the length of the flash will determine if there is or isn't any blur in the shot.

    Take for instance a bullet being captured in flight. You would expose that shot (sorry for the pun) by using a flash rather than a shutter.

    Earlier I posted an example of how scene luminance affects the exposure* with clear definitions of each.

    Other people have also explained why your thread title is nonsense.

    You are still running way from posting the definitions of scene luminance and exposure as you used them in your title.

    That is what you always do when you have backed yourself into a corner as you have done here.

    Your definitions of those 2 are clearly different to most other people's and so you will continue to go round in circles as you are here because obviously you can make up false definitions of those terms that support your thread title.

    * exposure - amount of light that struck the sensor per unit area while the shutter was open

    well from my experience flash duration is maxed at 1/8000 sec. so to slow to still a bullet.

    thats "AN exposure" = image captured its not exposure (camera settings)
