Sunny 16 Rule notes

In it’s simplest form, the Sunny 16 rule (or Sunny F/16 rule) states: On a bright, sunny day, the correct exposure for any middle tone subject is F/16 at the shutter speed nearest to the reciprocal of the film speed. For example:

ISO 100 = 1/100 second @ F/16

ISO 200 = 1/200 second @ F/16

ISO 400 = 1/400 second @ F/16

ISO 800 = 1/800 second @ F/16

equivalent exposer different settings same exposer of light 

Aperture and Shutter Speed Practice.

• F4  – looks the best at __1/125___ of a second shutter speed.
• F5.6 – looks the best at __1/60___ of a second shutter speed.
• F8  – looks the best at __1/60___ of a second shutter speed.
• F11  – looks the best at __1/30_ of a second shutter speed.
• F16  – looks the best at ___1/30__ of a second shutter speed.
• F22  – looks the best at _1/8__ of a second shutter speed.

Part II

• At F4 how much background is visible? Is it blurry or in focus? How much?  Barley 
• At F5.6how much background is visible? Is it blurry or in focus? How much? Little bit 
• At F8 how much background is visible? Is it blurry or in focus? How much? little bleary 
• At F11 how much background is visible? Is it blurry or in focus? How much? clear 
• At F16 how much background is visible? Is it blurry or in focus? How much? visible 
• At F22 how much background is visible? Is it blurry or in focus? How much? very visible 

SET 3: Reflection Questions:

1. Consider what is happening to the people themselves at slow Shutter Speeds.

they would have to stay still longer so the photo won't be blurry 
2. In a real shooting situation, what should the photographer do to lessen this problem?

practice before hand to get a better Idea of what you are doing 
3. What combination of aperture and shutter speed do you think produces the best portrait? Why?

f/5.6 and 1/60 shutter speed my opinion 

aperture shutter speed and ISO

1. What part of the body should we closely relate aperture?

2. Finish this sentence: The smaller the Aperture _bigger

 the higher the Aperture _smaller the hole

3. In your own words tell me how aperture impacts Depth of Field?

when you have a small aperture (ex a f/2.0) you will have more of a blurry background rather than an aperture of an f/8.0 there will be more focus on the picture like the wall e example 

4. Using a class camera, list ALL of the F stops available on the lens currently attached.

F/4.0 to f/25 4.0 4.5 5.0 5.6 6.3 7.1 8.0 9.0 10 11 13 14 16 18 20 22 25 

5. What is the highest and smallest aperture numbers available on the kit lens?

18-200mm lens has a variable maximum aperture of f/3.5-f/5.6. When zoomed fully out at 18mm, the lens has an aperture of f/3.5, while when fully zoomed in at 200mm, the lens has an aperture of f/5.6. The heavy, professional zoom lenses, on the other hand, typically have fixed apertures. For example, the Nikon 70-200mm f/2.8 lens has the same maximum aperture of f/2.8 at all focal lengths between 70mm and 200mm.

Shutter speed 

Simply write: slow, medium, fast next to each item below:

At the beginning while the sun is still partially up and the courtyard has reasonable light

a.) the dunking booth fast

b.) the food eating contest medium 

c.) the rock climbing wall slow 

d.) someone working at a booth slow 

e.) the DJ/MC working at the middle of the circle medium

f.) the Diamonds performance. medium 

Towards the end when there is no sun and has gotten dark enough that you can't see from one end of the courtyard to the other.

a.) the dunking booth

b.) the food eating contest

c.) the rock climbing wall

d.) someone working at a booth

e.) the DJ/MC working at the middle of the circle

f.) the Diamonds performance.

2. List the three manual Presets your camera that allow you to affect shutter speed (these are found at #5 on the Shutter Speed website.

Explain how each works. DO NOT COPY AND PASTE, use your own words.

3. With a class camera, what are the shutter speeds available to you on that camera? You will have to turn the camera on to determine this. Hopefully you can figure out what setting to put the camera on to determine the answer to this question.1/4 1/5 1/6 1/8 1/10 1/13 1/15 1/20 1/25 1/30 1/40 1/50 1/60 1/ 80 1/100 1/125 1/160 1/200 1/250 1/320 1/400 1/500 1/640 1/800 1/1000 1/1250 1/1600 1/2000 1/2500 1/3200 1/4000 

ISO

Once you are finished, please go to Google and find an example of a photo taken at ISO 200 and a photo taken at ISO 3200 or 6400. Post both on your blog and label them.

Then answer the following questions:

1. What are the advantages of shooting at a higher ISO at a sporting event like basketball or a night football game? you will get more detail and better lighting for the picture 

2. What suggestions did the author make about using a low ISO? usually stick to the base ISO to get the best picture quality 

3. What suggestions did the author make about using a high ISO? when there is not enough light to capture a good  picture and freeze motion 

4. At the camera near you, please tell me what ISO's are available on your camera?

100 200 400 800 1600 3200 6400

skyline photography

Ive always been into this kind of photography because this is a very great way to use pictures to show a city and the buildings and light just make it much more of a well taken photo of a city life and it has always interested in this kind of pictures I can see it as easily as a profession in my future or as a go to hobby for my past time. Also just another good reason to go to other cities and just explore everything that city bass too offer and take some good pictures
