I'm just curious if anyone else noticed this.
By "dynamic lighting", I'm referring to the overall brightness of the image, in and out of the HDR range. For example, when you go into the tunnel, especially on the Reverse track, it brightens up a bit so you can make out the details on the wall (with some nice parallax mapping on the bricks). And when you come out of the tunnel, especially going Forward, there's a brief flash of bright light as you exit, that dims down to become more natural.
A couple of times playing the game, I've felt that the image was too dark. I could still see everything, but it didn't really look like bright daylight anymore. Combine that with some darker-than-usual Blu-ray movies, and it makes me question the calibration of my TV, when I'm fairly certain it's accurate.
Anyway, I was playing the game yesterday, driving the track in Reverse for the first time, and was again thinking that certain sections of the track were too dark. I happened to glance behind me to see something, and when the view returned to normal, I was surprised to see that the lighting had also returned to normal, and was much brighter than it had been a half a second before.
Has anyone else noticed this? Ever notice that the image seems a bit darker than it should be? Try that "trick".. change the camera view (in/out of the vehicle also works), and see if it fixes itself. I'm curious if others have noticed this, and I certainly hope it's something that PD addresses at some point. What with HDR illumination and all, bright daylight should be just that... bright.

I thought it was just me - I'll pay more attention and look out for it next time. I've never noticed a dimming in Blu-Ray movies, though.
