Tweaking exposure
As we close in on finalizing our exterior lighting setup, (at least for the time being), we have reached the point where we may want to consider revisiting the exposure settings that we been working with up to this point and see if there are any tweaks to be made that could perhaps benefit the final render in some way.
We can ask probing questions, such as, are the values being used perhaps making things a little too bright or overexposed? Do we want to push the hotspots in the image a little more, giving the suggestion that we are looking at a setting found in an extremely hot climate?
Whatever our initial answers to these questions, it would probably be a good idea at this point in time to go ahead and render out a series of shots, one from each of the available camera views so that we can make a thorough evaluation of the scenes current lighting.
In fact once we have those renders, one exercise we may want to try would be to take our images into an image editing application...
