Hello, great video! Personnally I just look at the shadows, it is much more precise : Shadow Full sun - sharp shadow: f / 16 Veiled sun - diffuse shadow: -1 stop => f / 11 Against the light or in the shade (clear shade): -3 stops => f / 5.6 Sun above the horizon, before diving: about -4 stops or about f / 4 No shade Hidden sun, white sky, visible sun disk with sunglasses: -2 stops => f / 8 Overcast sky, light gray, invisible sun disk: -3 stops => f / 5.6 Overcast, leaden gray, it can rain: -4 stops => f / 4 Rain: from -4 to -5 stops or f / 4 to f / 2.8 Interior From -9 to -10 stops Dim lights: between -12 and -15 stops I use this and I have great result, hope it helps.
Sunny 16 is just a guide for me and knowing how I want my images to look as we all no that Film loves light… Lots of light! I love shooting 3 stops of light with commercial grade film and it turns out the way I like it! Simply playing around and seeing results that come out with the settings I decided to shoot with. Keep it simple and learn from each film roll you shoot with or stick with one till you master the look you want from that film grain. Great job man! Love your video editing my friend!
I think the best method is a solid understanding of the exposure triangle. sunny 16 is helpful but like you said, it isn't really necessary. that tailor shot is mint, and I reckon the camera fault gives it some unique vibes ;)
It's definitely more fun to do this base reading adjustment method. And you know in BnW it so fuck up-able its like I kind shoot f8-11 almost always and adjust shutter speed from there. But now im shooting more digital again these days so ISO go BRRRRRR
oh interesting i've been doing this for a while now and i always thought it was part of the sunny 16 rule. 😅 Well, now I'm smarter. 7:36 the shot with the tailor also looks really good!
You're not stuck using f/16 when using the Sunny 16 Rule. That's just the starting point. You can use equivalent exposures with wider apertures. Or you can fine tune it how you like as the Sunny 16 Rule is meant as a great starting point anyhow.
Hey Zain, super useful video! I’ll definitely be trying that trick out where using your hand to gauge the shadows and adjusting out next time I shoot. Also that look from the man around 3:42 is downright terrifying to me. Looks like that are why I’m so nervous to street photography haha. Moment of silence for Fuji Pro 400H. I have to say my favourite shot was definitely the last one with the tailor working on his craft and the light present. My favourites are those candid-esque shots where the subject isn’t looking at lens directly is doing something interesting. It’s right up there for me with dedicated portraits. It’s a real shame about the shutter capping. One last thing, I saw what you replied at the last video and I want you to know, there’s always going to be core group of us watching your videos as you teach and advocate. Don’t worry, keep your chin up and thanks for your great content as always!
haha that man was a bit of a gamble. I thought he was going to say something but I just focused on the shot and he didn't say anything haha. Appreciate the support, Leo. Gotta keep true to myself and it means a lot to know you'll still click on the vids.
I'm sorry but I couldn't even finish this video. So much misunderstanding about what the Sunny 16 rule actually is, and how it can be used for multiple lighting situations without much thinking required. Not to mention the title is misleading since yours REQUIRES a light meter! Seriously, delete this and start over, maybe after researching Sunny 16 more and other general purpose rules for indoor exposure without metering (such as f1.4 + 1/30 + ISO 400).
I know. I guess I should've explained more but I wanted to keep the vid as short as possible. The main issue with sunny 16 is that it only works with sunny lighting and I guess that's the main point of the video; finding a way of shooting without sunny 16.
@@ZainRiza It is also wrong, that it works only when sunny. Some filmstock used to have on, if I am not mistaking, the inside of the cartonpachaging a formular showing various states of cloudyness and the corresponding aperture. At least that my local photodealer told me. Must be correct considering he bace a photodealer in the late 70's. The rule is, the aperture is f.11 if partly cloudy. If mostly cloudy it's f.8. Overcast/outdoor shade is f.5.6. If shade only, it's f.4. I reckon this last one means f.4 is the way to go if prioritizing shadow-details.

Hello, great video!
Personnally I just look at the shadows, it is much more precise :
Shadow
Full sun - sharp shadow: f / 16
Veiled sun - diffuse shadow: -1 stop => f / 11
Against the light or in the shade (clear shade): -3 stops => f / 5.6
Sun above the horizon, before diving: about -4 stops or about f / 4
No shade
Hidden sun, white sky, visible sun disk with sunglasses: -2 stops => f / 8
Overcast sky, light gray, invisible sun disk: -3 stops => f / 5.6
Overcast, leaden gray, it can rain: -4 stops => f / 4
Rain: from -4 to -5 stops or f / 4 to f / 2.8
Interior
From -9 to -10 stops
Dim lights: between -12 and -15 stops
I use this and I have great result, hope it helps.
very detailed. Nice one.
i like this method. keeps you more focused on seeing things, that fussing with the meter. in consistent light situations, this method works well
yup exactly!

wow 3 stops of light. My man going for them pastel tones.
The shot with the tailor is wonderful. Thank you for sharing this. It’s helping me to understand how to judge light a little bit more.
Yeah that tailor shot made my day. I'm glad I could help!

Appreciate it brother. I can't do technical breakdowns like you.

digital? what that?

hold on what you just described is sunny 16
I think you’re just good at judging exposure 😂
🙈 haha
Great informative video as always but probably about time to get a new, adult watch...
Loooool. G-Shock 4 EVA.
I be shocking that G every night. Making it light up in the dark. (Not sure if that's healthy tho)

wow.
no he should just remove not using sunny 16 in the title because what he just explained is how to use sunny 16 so its a bit misleading
One mistake. With sunny 16, you are not stuck with f.16.

sunny 16 means that is your starting point if your in the shade you set it to 5.6 or f4 if its cloudy f8 ;if shadow not harsh f11
@@AnimeStudioMotion Yeah. That is what I commented. You do not need to repeat me.
