Sunny 16
Friday, August 13th, 2010I wonder if kids these days know what the “Sunny 16″ rule is. If you came from film them no doubt you would know or at very least heard of it.
Basically this is the “Sunny 16″ table (if I remember correctly)
Beach/Snow – f/22 @ ISO 100, 1/100
Sunny – f/16 @ ISO 100, 1/100
Cloudy – f/11 @ ISO 100, 1/100
Overcast f/8 @ ISO 100, 1/100
Heavy Overcase f/5.6 @ ISO 100, 1/100
Late Sunset f/4 @ ISO 100, 1/100
How does it help? Well it will provide you with a base to start with when you’re outside doing location off camera flash work. Of course you should still meter and adjust to suit settings/taste/sensors
