:I should have mentioned that my issue with [[User:Imroy|Imroy]]'s first edit was more with the elimination of the HTML entities than with reformatting the paragraphs. A few common characters (opening and closing quotes, and horizontal punctuation such as hyphens, minus signs, and em and en dashes) look the same in typewritten copy (i.e., ASCII) but are quite different in typeset copy. I think using the proper characters precludes ambiguity and improves readability, and I think readability takes precedence over simpler coding. Some others may disagree, however.

==Exposure for circuses==
Sources vary, but the one (ANSI PH2.7-1973, Photographic Exposure Guide) with the most specific recommendation for circuses, gives a value equivalent to EV 8 for ISO 100. A later version of that guide, ANSI PH2.7-1986, gives a value of EV 8–EV–9 for "Brightly lit sports events, stage shows, and the like" (included in the article's table), but makes no mention of circuses. The ''Kodak Professional Photoguide'' (Publication R-28, 1986), and Kodak's ''Existing-Light Photography'' (Publication KW-17, 1991) suggest values closer to EV 7. The recommendation could be broadened to include values from R-28, but doing so would properly require every other value to be re-examined as well. There probably are additional sources that merit equal consideration, so going beyond the current sources could be a bit of a project.
For now, I've revised the table to mention that the values for circuses and ice shows assume floodlighting. [[User:JeffConrad|JeffConrad]] 02:22, 20 April 2007 (UTC)
