    thats right i dont own an exposure meter i have better ones built in my cameras , btw i actually own my studio because i make money and dont waste time with useless work flows 😎 and if you take notice he is using the light meter for constant lighting not studio strobes but you knew that didnt you 🙄

    No need to "take notice" it is obvious, even to me ...

    ... less obvious is what "my 7 studio lights" are ...

    "keep it vague; avoid the plague" ... 😃

    Tony, as you probably know, Light Value is calculated from the camera settings and is not a direct measurement of the scene luminance.

    so your 7 studio lights are meter this and btw its a projected backdrop image. its a single exposure.

    That is all I need - thank for the clarification!

    Well it is useful, the exposure is important because knowing the scene luminosity values coming off of various surfaces is needed for me to know how the exposure will vary based and how I want those values to be stored with in my raw file for later processing (mainly the clipping point)

    This is even in situations when using strobes

    Discuss Exposure ? out of camera jpegs for test images.

    Does fill flash/ flash (call it what you like) change exposure, that is the discussion

    for the nerds. godox 685s 1/16th power 2 feet from subject now calculate the lux/sec (what ever you want to call it) that is useful for the capture of the image.

    Not obvious to me...
    Looking that picture you can not say if he's measuring constant light or flash ( or ambient and flash light together ) or is he only posing to do it.

    Still you can't say what he's measuring. The title of the picture, "Use of a light meter for portrait cinematography in a Turkish music video set", is hint to continuous light but what if he's acting using flashes?

    MINOLTA AUTOMETER IIIF can do both.

    Sure it did for the area that captured the image of just the flower the exposure did change, did the fill flash change the exposure over the entire image no

    Is it not? My understanding of LV is that 'LV' is 'Luminance value' and is the meter reading - the one that you'd see behind the needle on an analogue meter such as a Weston. So far as I now, the only camera settings that would affect it is how you have the meter configured, eg spot, average. centre wighted, evaluative, etc - all of which will affect which parts of the scene the meter reads and how it evaluates them.

    but do they take ISO into that valuation ?
