Oppose I really don't like the sodium vapor lamp lighting; it takes away from the EV by making it look completely different than it would in natural light. -RunningOnBrains^(talk) 01:35, 16 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment: Wouldn't it look entirely undifferentiated black without lights? 75.41.109.190 (talk) 14:19, 16 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  - I wasn't looking for a photo with no lighting (that would be silly), I wanted one with white lighting; as it stands now you can't tell the actual color of the walls. I know they're black, but a FP is supposed to show that they're black. That's the EV criterion. -RunningOnBrains^(talk) 00:26, 18 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
    - 75.41.109.190: The photographer could e.g. light paint the walls with a flash to provide white light in this case. JJ Harrison (talk) 01:44, 18 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
