Sunny 16 Rule and Basic Exposure Constant Notes

The Sunny 16 Rule- The proper exposure is determined by the ISO of the film/sensor setting.
ISO-100
Shutter speed- 1/100 or 1/125
Aperture-  f/16
LV: light value

Equivalent exposures:
 Different frames that have the same amount of light but different aperture and shutter speed numbers

Aperture, Shutter Speed and ISO Review

APERTURE-
                                                                               F2.8

                                                                                 F16

1.We can relate aperture to one part of our body; the pupil of our eyes is very similar of how aperture works.
2.The smaller the Aperture is the larger the F-stops, the higher the Aperture is the smaller the F-stops.
3.Depth of Field is directly affected by Aperture. If you have a small aperture it would get everything in focus, if the aperture is large, the foreground would be sharp and the background blurred out.
4. F29,  F25,  F22, F20, F18, F16, F14, F13, F11, F10, F9, F8, F7.1,  F6.3,  F5.6, F5, F4.5
5.Highest is F4.5 and the lowest is F29

SHUTTER SPPED-
fast shutter speed

                                                                 slow shutter speed

 Day:
  • a.) the dunking booth- fast
  • b.) the food eating contest-Medium
  • c.) the rock climbing wall- fast
  • d.) someone working at a booth- fast
  • e.) the DJ/MC working at the middle of the circle- slow
  • f.) the Diamonds performance-fast


   Night:
  • a.) the dunking booth-slow
  • b.) the food eating contest-fast
  • c.) the rock climbing wall-fast
  • d.) someone working at a booth-medium
  • e.) the DJ/MC working at the middle of the circle-medium
  • f.) the Diamonds performance-fast
2. Aperture priority- the camera automatically sets the shutter speed.Shutter priority- the camera automatically sets the aperture.
Manual- you adjust both the shutter speed and aperture.

3. Shutter speed on the camera- 1/400, 1/3200, 1/2500, 1/2000, 1/1600, 1/1250, 1/1000, 1/800, 1/500, 1/400, 1/320, 1/250, 1/200, 1/160, 1/125, 1/100, 1/80, 1/60, 1/50, 1/40, 1/30, 1/25, 1/20, 1/15, 1/13, 1/10, 1/8, 1/6, 1/5, 1/4, 0"3, 0"4, 0"5, 0"6, 0"8, 1", 1"3, 1"6, 2",2"5, 3"2, 4", 5", 8", 10", 13", 15", 20", 25", 30", BULB.

ISO:
1. You can freeze motion and its always better to use a high ISO when theres not enough light.
2.He says that a low ISO is better when theres plenty of light to get most detail and the highest image quality.
3.Use a high ISO when theres not enough light and freeze motion.
4. ISO- 100, 200, 400, 800, 1600, 3200, 6400
High ISO & Low ISO
