ok.. so i've been searching, reading about the sunny 16 rule. many webs with all the information... ALOT of information... too much!!! just too much to read.. lol.
trying to compile a shorter, 'simplier', (but probably not as much information/details) for the Sunny 16 Rule.
Aperture
An aperture is a hole or an opening through which light is admitted.
Simply, smaller the number, bigger the ‘hole’.
The usual set of numbers used in photography. (in full-stop)
1, 1.4, 2, 2.8, 4, 5.6, 8, 11, 16, 22, 32, 45, 64, 90, 128, etc.
In photography, the lens aperture is usually specified as an f-number. Eg. F/2.8, f/8 etc.
Shutter Speeds
Shutter speed is the length of time a shutter is open.
The Standards values (in seconds) :
1/1000 s , 1/500 s , 1/250 s , 1/125 s , 1/60 s , 1/30 s , 1/15 s , 1/8 s , 1/4 s ,1/2 s , 1 s
Values are normally doubled.
Sunny 16 Rule
The sunny 16 rule (or, less often, the "sunny f/16 rule") is a method to estimate correct daylight exposures without using a light meter.
How to use :-
The shutter speed is set to the nearest ISO speed of the film.
Eg. Film ISO 100 = shutter speed 1/125s
Film ISO 200 = shutter speed 1/250s
Aperture used should be as below.
Sunny - f/16
Slight Overcast - f/11
Overcast - f/8
Heavy Overcast - f/5.6
So for example :-
Sunny day, film 400 :-
Should be using ~ aperture f/16 + shutter spd 1/500s.
ps. damnit.. like also alot to read ... /faint
