Shooting Film Without a Meter: The Sunny 16 Rule

One of the best skills to learn when getting into film (and photography) is how to know what settings to shoot at just by looking at available light. The Sunny 16 Rule is an easy way to get started for those times when you don't have a light meter or don't want to use one. In this video, Henry teaches you all about Sunny 16, how to shoot with equivalent f/stops and shutter speeds, and even shows you how Sunny 16's cousin, Shady 8, works. And remember, when there isn't a lot of available light, always err on the side of overexposing your film, as it has great highlight latitude and can handle it.
