Lecture 11: Radiometry (26)
Jordanwyli

I didn't know the difference in illuminance between sunlight outside and a fully lit room could be so great. I personally always preferred having some sunlight while working, but didn't know imagine the difference to be so great.

Going off Jordan's comment, I was also shocked at the difference between sunlight and an inside room. I think this gap speaks magnitudes about the eyes ability to adjust to light. It also made me think of the various shadows in a room, and how singlely lit objects can still produce an effect of a well-lighted room, when the amount of light in the room isn't even close to that of a fully lit day.

This right here is why true HDR is hard. The dynamic range of the world is enormous. Currently we can get up to 0-255 on standard in terms of range for displays which is nowhere near the ranges shown in this slide.
