Sunny 16 Rule

* I should learn this rule to help with light metering especially if the camera does not have a light meter on it. You should use the ISO 100 or shutter speed 1/100 or 1/125 when starting with F16 for the Sunny 16 Rule.

Aperature, Shutter Speed, and ISO review

Aperture:
F-stop of 2.8

F-stop of 16

1) We should closely relate the aperture of a camera to the pupil of our eyes.
2) The Smaller the aperture the larger the f-number, and the Larger the aperture the smaller the f-number.
3) The smaller the f-number the blurrier the background, and the larger the f-number the sharper the background.
4) .3-60 depending on my zoom settings on my personal camera.
Shutter Speed:
High Shutter Speed

Low Shutter Speed



1) Daytime
     a) Dunking Booth- 1/1600
     b) Food Eating Contest- 1/1600
     c) Rock Climbing Wall- 1/1600
     d) Someone working booth- 1/1600
     e) DJ- 1/1600
     f) Diamonds Performance- 1/1600

2) Nighttime
     a) Dunking Booth- 1/800
     b) Food Eating Contest- 1/800
     c) Rock Climbing Wall- 1/800
     d) Someone working booth- 1/800
     e) DJ- 1/800
     f) Diamonds Performance- 1/800

ISO:


ISO 200





ISO 3200




1) An advantage to having a higher ISO for a basketball game or night football game would be having a higher shutter speed as well.
2) When there is plenty of light use a low ISO. 
3) When there is not enough light use a high ISO.

Camera Sim:

Different F-Stops=what Shutter Speed:
     1) F-2.8, SS1/125, ISO 400, it is very blurry in the background and all you can really see is the girl and her wind wheel.
     2) F-4, SS1/60, ISO 400, it is very blurry in the background and all you can really see is the girl and her wind wheel.
     3) F-5.6, SS1/40, ISO 400, the background is less blurry and all you can really see is the girl and fan is very blurry.
     4) F-8, SS1/1600, ISO 400, the background is partially blurry and both the girl and wind wheel are visible.
     5) F-11, SS1/800, ISO 400, the background is partially blurry and both the girl and wind wheel are visible.
     6) F-16, SS1/400, ISO 400, the background is clear, visible and both the girl and wind wheel are visible.
     7) F-22, SS1/200, ISO 400, both the background and girl are clear and visible, the wheel is partially blurry.

What happens to the person when the shutter speed is set low?
     1) There is either blurriness a washout or no visibility at all.
     2) The photographer could speed up the shutter speed and even the light meter.
     3) The lowest Shutter Speed a photographer could use hand held depending on the weather would be 1/200.

Test: I was unable to take the test the link was not found.
