Pub Light Levels

It would be difficult to argue that light does not have a major impact on how a pub is experienced - most pub activities would be fairly uncomfortable under, say, the glare of hospital lights. In this section I hope to visually represent the different light level which can be found in various areas of the Pub. To accomplish this I took a series of photographs througout the pub, all with the same aperture and shutter speed. The effect of this is that darker areas appear to be hidden in the shadows and lighter areas appear flooded with light. This seems to be a much more effective way of conveying this info rather than presenting numerical light readings which are rather inaccessable. Note that there was no opportunity to take photos at night at the pub. The following photos were taken in the evening but with full daylight.

Think About:

Does lighting really matter to a pub experience?
How might light change between day and night in this pub?
Are the brighter areas the areas you would expect?
Do different types of seating suggest different levels of light?
