I think Adrian did a great job answering, but just to clarify my thoughts the original question:
What are you looking for or tweaking here?
I’m not being super exact when I’m changing the exposure and there’s plenty of room for creative interpretation – I’m just making sure that we can actually see the scene when using such high values.
Are you trying to get the candle to match what it would look like under an actual sun? Maybe it was just hard to see on my screen, but I saw you adjust the exposure but couldn’t see the candle even a little.
Exactly! A candle in the sun doesn’t really do a whole lot of good. It’s not about getting exact values but getting used to how vastly different the values really are.
