Mirror Box: Overcast Sky Simulator (Daylight Factor)


Interior Perspective False Color Exposure

The picture on th left was taken in the mirror box, overcast sky simulator. By taking a series of photos from extreme over exposure to extreme underexposure, and utilizing PHOTOSPHERE, we were able to generate this high dynamic range image, allowing a better visual perception of the brightness gradient.

The red areas represent the brightest areas, while blue represents the darkest.
