Abstract: The problem of photographic exposure has been with us for a long time. The range of values of luminance in a scene in nature, or even on a lighted set, is often, if not most of the time, greater than that which can be reasonably reproduced by the film. And yet the latter must give an illusion of the complete reality in the ultimate screen image. The artist photographer must balance many ambient conditions and arrive at one number, to give the required exposure. Considerable ingenuity has gone into combining the many facets of this balance in a simple routine process or mechanical computer that can give the answer unequivocally and reliably. The following four papers attack various phases of the problem and come up with contributions toward its solution. Considering the complexities of the situation and the points of view of the contributors, we may expect discussion on this for some time to come.
