photographic triangle is a good name . but im sure many will criticise it just the same. as they criticise exposure triangle.

Which was 'aperture, shutter speed and film'.
pretty much. 'aperture, shutter speed and iso. they are all i record on the camera when i test a new studio setup. i dont even record my 7 studio lights settings anymore as i have them diffused and spaced at exactly the places i need them for the required amount of light. scene luminance is such a waist of brain space and its not practically recordable anyway in my situation. if scene luminence was important you would have included it in your software exif data 😎
Ah, the ever-popular suck-it-and-see approach! No brain-space waisted at all ... and, presumably, not a single light-meter to be seen in your professional studio, unlike here:
stolen from en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Light_meter#Exposure_meter_calibration
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 🙄
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" ... 😃

photographic triangle is a good name
So, what then is the name? -
It's just an idle sound...

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

meter this and btw its a projected backdrop image. its a single exposure.

<useless image>
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!
Exposure is the amount of light that hits the sensor per unit of area. This is useful for many things
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

that was a quote from lee Jay
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.

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

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