Sunny 16

These were exposed using the sunny 16 rule. In a nutshell you use an aperture of 16 in bright sun and use a shutter speed as close to your films ISO as possible. Example: ISO 400 film would be exposed at 1/500 of a second with an aperture of 16 on a sunlit subject with no clouds to cast shadows on the scene.

  
Here is a chart explaining it for you. Below are some photos I took on Ilford FP4 a 125 ISO black and white film using only the sunny 16 rule.



As you will see I tried to expose for the different types of scenes covered in the chart above. Good shooting.....
