Sunlit subject shot on a digital camera set to ISO 100, exposed at f/8 at 1/400 second which is the same exposure value as f/16 for 1/100 second, the recommended "sunny 16" exposure. In photography, the sunny 16 rule (also known as the sunny f /16 rule) is a method of estimating correct daylight exposures without a light meter. Apart from the ...
Night photography (also called nighttime photography) is the capturing of images outdoors between dusk and dawn. Night photographers generally have a choice between using artificial lighting and using a long exposure , exposing the shot for seconds, minutes, or hours in order to capture enough light to record an image.
Looney 11 exposure of the Moon - 1/200 second, ISO 200, f /11. 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. For daylight photography, there is a similar rule called the Sunny 16 rule.
Long-exposure photography is often used in a night-time setting, where the lack of light forces longer exposures, if maximum quality is to be retained. Increasing ISO sensitivity allows for shorter exposures, but substantially decreases image quality through reduced dynamic range and higher noise. By leaving the camera's shutter open for an ...
A demonstration of the effect of exposure in night photography. Longer shutter speeds result in increased exposure. The true characteristic of most photographic emulsions is not actually linear (see sensitometry), but it is close enough over the exposure range of about 1 second to 1/1000 of a second. Outside of this range, it becomes necessary ...
Star trail photography on salt lake in Lut desert in Iran. A star trail is a type of photograph that uses long exposure times to capture diurnal circles, the apparent motion of stars in the night sky due to Earth's rotation. A star-trail photograph shows individual stars as streaks across the image, with longer exposures yielding longer arcs.
Thus, a camera with a fastest shutter speed of 1 / 400 th of a second (one that began exposures 18.75 ms after a bulb was fired with M sync triggering), and which was set to 1 / 25 th of a second, would close its shutter 59 ms after triggering a flashbulb (18.75 ms + 40 ms = 58.75 ms) and would achieve the maximum rated guide number from the No ...
For example, a 50 mm lens should be used at a minimum speed of 1/50 sec, and a 300 mm lens at 1/300 of a second. This can cause difficulties when used in low light scenarios, since exposure also decreases with shutter time. High speed photography uses very short exposures to prevent blurring of fast moving subjects
