[QUOTE="AxeMan - Rick S., post: 150448, member: 1746"] RULES + RULES + "SWEET SPOT" = CONFUSION I'm sure I'm about to confuse everyone with this but here goes. Sunny 16 - At noon on a sunny day I should be shooting f/16 ISO 100 1/100 of a second. When shooting a moving object your shutter speed should be at LEAST twice the length of your lens. So if my thinking is right, if I'm using a 200mm lens and shooting a moving object on a sunny day at noon and I'm trying to follow the "Sunny 16 Rule" my setting should be: f/16 ISO 500 (I threw in an extra 100 because the minimum of my lens doubled is 400 and I want to stop motion) 1/500 Is my thinking so far correct? If so next part of the question Now on average the 'Sweet Spot" on most lens is around f/5.6 and f/8 which is completely out of range in the "Sunny 16 Rule" So how could I achieve the "Sunny 16 Rule" at a lower aperture? I been thinking about this all day and here is what I came up with f/8 ISO 250 (200) 1/1000 Correct? [/QUOTE]
