What is lunar 11 rule?
In lunar photography, the Looney 11 rule (also known as the Looney f/11 rule) is a method of estimating correct exposures without a light meter. The basic rule is: “For astronomical photos of the Moon’s surface, set aperture to f/11 and shutter speed to the [reciprocal of the] ISO film speed [or ISO setting].”
What is exposures in film camera?
Camera exposure is the overall brightness or darkness of a photograph. More specifically, it’s the amount of light that reaches the film or camera sensor when a picture is being taken. The more you expose the film or camera sensor to light, the lighter your photo will be. The less light, the darker your photo will be.
How do you know if you are exposed to film camera?
The Sunny 16 Rule If you have a 400 film stock, set your shutter to 400, and your aperture to f/16 and it’ll give you the correct exposure. If you are going to compensate, give it a little bit more exposure. f/16 in the sun, f11 overcast, f/8 if it’s more overcast, f/6 is heavy overcast, f/4 in the shade.
Is the Sunny 16 Rule accurate?
The Sunny 16 rule is pretty accurate, to the point that some very simple cameras display a sun and clouds rather than F-stop numbers. If your camera is within a stop or so of the Sunny 16 rule, the exposure will generally be close; when in doubt, underexpose a bit.
What is the best lens to photograph the moon?
You need to find one with a focal length of, at least, 300mm. Thankfully, the moon is so bright that you do not need fast, expensive, telephoto lenses. Anything with an aperture of f/5.6 or f/8 will do. For a DSLR, we recommend the Canon EF 75-300mm f/4-5.6 or Canon EF 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6L IS USM.
