If you've not already heard of the sunny f/16 rule, it is a great way to set your camera up for perfect exposures while out in the sun without the use of a meter.
It's particularly useful if you're in a hurry to get your camera ready as it is pretty much fool proof and very quick.
When out on a sunny day follow these very simple steps:
- Set your aperture to f/16
- Set your shutter speed to match your ISO selection
Don't quite understand step 2?
If your ISO is on 200, set your shutter speed to 1/200 and away you go, if your ISO is 100, then it's fine to cheat a little and select 1/125 and so on.
So far I've found this to always be effective for me, I find it a great way to quickly set the camera while shooting in Manual if I'm worried I'll miss something passing by or a silly act by one of my children.
Apologies for the lack of illustrations in this blog but as soon as I wrote it the sun vanished behind clouds :(
