Ian Rance Posted February 5, 2009 Share Posted February 5, 2009 <p>In the UK I find the 'sunny 16' rule gives underexposure of 1/2 - 1 stops, even on bright days. Sunny 11 seems more apt here.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
profhlynnjones Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 <p>Regarding "Behind the Camera"</p> <p>My late friend, Herb Boggie, who taught for many years at Brooks Inst. Inevitably, a student who had failed at an assignment would say, "I think my camera is busted, Mr. Boggie" at which time herb would respond, "You are right, there is a loose nut a few inches behind your camera".</p> <p>Herb was a wonderful teacher and a little nutty himself.</p> <p>Lynn</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James G. Dainis Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 "<I>Sunny 16 rule is rather old school (and rather useless anymore). Even plastic dReb's have pretty good light meters built in."</I> <P>If I'm shooting a snowman on a sunny snow filled lawn with 100 ISO and my pretty good light meter calls for 1/500 sec at f/16, hopefully my brain will go, "Hey, wait a minute!"

Tim_Lookingbill Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 <p>What we need in a camera is a dynamic range meter and just have it pick an exposure that fits the brightest bright spot and the darkest dark just a tad bit within the side walls of a histogram.</p> <p>Done. We'll take care of the rest in post. What most meters do is place mid gray tones in the middle and to heck with the rest of the dynamics.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
