No Light Meter, No Problem – use the Sunny 16 rule! When the batteries die in your fancy-pants Leica M6, don’t fret! You can still take beautifully exposed pictures using the Sunny 16 rule. Or maybe your camera doesn’t have a light meter–or worse yet, you forgot your light meter; Sunny 16 will save the day!

As long as your subject is illuminated by bright direct sunlight, set your aperture to f/16 and your shutter speed to the inverse of your film speed or the closest value (ie. with ISO 100 film, set your shutter to 1/100th or 1/125th) and voila, you have a beautifully exposed picture.

This patch will remind you that even though you don’t have a light meter, you can still shoot to your heart’s content.

2.5 x 3.75″, custom embroidered, heat seal iron-on backing, inspired by light and photography, and designed by me! Ships from California.
