Sunny 16 Rules Notes

In order to be able to take clear pictures you need to know how to use the sunny 16 rule in order to get the best exposure to take the best pictures


the proper exposure is determined by the iso of the film/sensor setting

in the funny 16 rule the goal is to get the pictures to have an equal exposure.
so if you start at f16 and shutter speed 1/125and if you move it up one full f stop it would be f11 and the equivalent shutter speed would be 1/250, if you move it down one full f-stop it would be f22 and equivalent shutter speed would be 1/60.

although the exposure would be the same the picture can till change from sharpness of the background and depth of field, it can also become more or less grainy depending on the settings you choose.
