Sunny 16

This is another application of photography 101...in this situation

forget about your meter...you just apply the sunny 16 rule minus

half or a full stop to increase density in the sky...

Wonderful colors

Nice to see folks will get below 4 feet to get a nice shot. congratulations...well framed...nicely exposed.

Awesome picture!!! Did you do any work in photoshop or is it all natural?

It's been done many time before,so ya everything is real,no filter add, no computer manipulation...I'm laying on the ground with the sun straight throught the lense,harsh for your eye!!!

Truly beautiful..Outstanding composition with a great perspective.. Love the colors. Well Done!!

Remarkable composition and realisation. What is the sunny 16 rule ? Is it to open at F16 ? How can the leaves not be dark ?

 

Would you see my lasts loaded photos ?

Thank you

this is a superb photo that has a great sky but perhaps you could find some better exposure position .but simply wonderfull...

Salut Henry,pour repondre a ta question...The sunny 16 rule say ;in a clear sunny day everything that is lit by straight sunlight should be expose at f16 and 1/speed film...0f course from there you can adjust,let say f16 and 1/100 to f5.6 and 1/800...In my picture, since the meter reading is completely off because of the sun, i use the manual setting and adjust the camera at f16 & 1/50(velvia).Then i underexpose to get a darker sky...Work best when the light pass throught your subject(flowers &leafs) so it doesn't get backlit...i also left the aperture at F16(a small aperture) so the sun will be recorded as a star.Anyway i copy the all idea from another photographer who copy it from a another one and so on...J'espere que ces informations sauront t'aider...Jacques

I like this picture alot!! wll done.
