This dune fence is outside of the park I walk thru each day. The light seemed to be glowing off it . It was the middle of the day so I metered off the neutral green grass and it worked!! NO BLINKIES!! I was so proud I thought I'd share my big moment LOL
Hi Denise,
In photography, the sunny 16 rule or, the "sunny f/16 rule" is a method to estimate the correct daylight exposures without using a light meter. Its very easy to apply; it goes like this: The basic sunny 16 rule, applicable on a sunny day, you would set the aperture to f/16 and the shutter speed to the ISO being used.
If the ISO is 100, choose shutter speed of 1/100 second (or 1/125 second). In esence, you are setting the shutter speed to the setting nearest to the ISO. Keep in mind that this is proportational…another example is as follows: if you are shooting ISO 100 in sunny conditions, set the shutter speed to 1/100 or 1/125 and the f/stop to f/16. With an ISO of 200, set the speed to 1/200 or 1/250. For ISO 400, set to 1/400 or 1/500. This follows through with other light reading, the shutter speed can be changed, as long as the f-number is compensated. An example of this would be using 1/250th of a second at f/11 would be the equivalent to 1/125th at f/16.
I hope this makes it clear… I’m confused…:eek::D:)
