andym911 Posted September 19, 2010 Share #1 Posted September 19, 2010 Advertisement (gone after registration) really does work. for those occasions when the exposure meter is inconvenient or left at home you can get pretty 'bang on' exposures using this old rule. Sure the art is to judge the shadow and light intensity accordingly but I use 5 variations and gives a reasonable exposure (almost) every time. Nothing new I know, but it helps to just try it and se what happens.Sine I got the M2 am using it more and more with ever growing confidence. This one was easy;) best andy Welcome, dear visitor!

Advertisement Posted September 19, 2010 Posted September 19, 2010 Hi andym911, Take a look here Sunny 16. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
earleygallery Posted September 19, 2010 Share #2 Posted September 19, 2010 Yes it works fine, and with a little practice you can gauge indoor and night time exposures too. In the UK I find it's more like Sunny 11 on all but the brightest of summer days however. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the past there used to be e.g. - slide rule calculators or tables which used the same algorithm but - all the negative B&W films had an additional margin of 1.25 of a stop Circa 1960 they reduced the margin, magically your Ilford HP3 changed from 200 ASA to 400 ASA, because most people were using meters by then.... There still was a margin of 1.25 of a stop afterwards. Noel Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
