Sunny 16 rule
Apr 29, 2017 23:34:11 #
Someone on here had mentioned the "Sunny 16 rule" to me the other day. So I researched it and today, we went out on the boat so I set the camera to Manual & Raw (scary for me...very very scary..lol) and set my settings to F16, ISO 100 and Shutter at 100 on my Nikon D5300, 18-55 mm lens....here are 3 of the best one's from today. Edited a little in LR5 - I am also still learning post processing - adjusted contract, vibrance, saturation and played around with the blacks, white, shadows and highlights.
Please any advice on editing, composition or any another comments welcome.

You are actually pretty close on the exposure. I downloaded the first image and looked at the histogram and the whites don't seem to be clipped. The image needs a little work to add a bit of saturation and contrast, but that is a personal preference. So your use of the "rule" seemed to work out. In my opinion you shouldn't be afraid of raw. Once you get used to processing the images, you will never look back. Have fun experimenting.
