Therefore, ?weather¹ conditions and SBR are linked. On a bright sunny day, you end up with areas directly hit by sunlight, where other areas are in deep shadow. The SBR is huge in that case. On a gloomy day, everything I the scene is illuminated by the gigantic soft box, otherwise known as ?sky¹. The bright areas get less light and the shadows get more. The SBR is relatively small in that case. However, you are right with your example of the two dogs. If the black dog is placed on Zone III and the lighter dog falls on Zone VII, this will not change from sunny to gloomy day, unless... the brighter dog is in sunlight on the sunny day. The classic example is always bride and groom. Get them out of the sunlight into a shaded area. Regards Ralph W.
