Hello! Thanks for the link about the Munsell Color model.
As I've thought about the responses, I think I mean luminance akin to L in the Lab color model (or value in Munsell's scheme). In a scene where L varies quite a bit, which would be the bread and butter of B&W, yet where hue and chroma are important, would one wait for flatter light to decrease the effect of contrast? Does the wide luminance values give too much information? Or does the added luminance effect improve the photo?
How about a scene that has a lot of luminance variation and color variation (hue and chroma)? How would that affect the shoot? How might a person decide what time of the day to photograph the scene in order to control the amount/intensity of the light? Best regards.
