I've always used a cupped palm to focus dim light into a spot I needed
to see, don't know where I got this from but it's like placing your hand
above your eyes in bright light to shade your eyes as a reflex almost.
Similar thing occurs when you block a light from a shadowy place your
trying to see to adjust your eyes to the darkness there.
Sorry, I wouldn't be much help with that much of a "capture reality"
rendering, especially if you think it might take a lifetime and a cray.
And, hey, I'm both American and *semi*-metric, if that counts for
anything.
