First one is lit by moonlight:
In the first image the sky is white. Anyone ever tried astro shooting? What exposure times do you need in alleged darkness to turn the whole night sky (not just a moon or stars) into white? This is so pathetic.
Put a camera with an F1.2 lens on a tripod for a couple of minutes at ISO 100 and surprise: You get bright results.
Anyone noticed how neither ISO nor exposure time nor aperture is mentioned (the whole combo, not just bits)?
And then picking a snow white scenario to prove anything about "low light" is really coming from a clown.
Lastly simple photographers experience:
The face of the girl is properly exposed in a shady forest (remember the white snow coupled with strong moonlighting). So we are looking at nothing worse than EV -3 or -4. Lets got for -4.
Pick aperture F2 (silly not to go for F1.4 in "pitch black") in -4 Illumination and at 2 sec exposure time --> requires
ISO 3200.
If you ever wondered why so many people think Nikon is not going to survive much longer on the market with their subpar products, now you know: In 2016 they advertise the option to shoot at ISO 3200, presenting tiny web unquality images as proof.
