Sunny 16 looney 11 - what about "indoor details"
May 29, 2013 09:04:42 #
I've read about sunny 16 and looney 11 but what about a standard for shooting in an average lit home. (ignoring white balance)

How about wide open and 1/20 and one 1/50? Next to a lamp, maybe one stop closed and the same speeds.

Commercial inteiors ( like banks, stores ECT. ) are ISO 400, 1/30 F5.6 - so average home ( if there is such a thing ) would be a couple stops open from there - about 1/30 @ 2.8 ISO 400 . Kodak used to publish handy data like this !

This should give you a good place to start for many different lighting situations:

Don't know what loony 11 is but I don't think that there IS (nor can be) an indoor standard purely because while the sun is constant everywhere...and thus a standard is valid...the lighting in people's homes isn't....
Does that make sense?
In my own case....GENERALLY my house is dark....ISO 1650 to 4000 range with an aperture of f/4 or wider.

Here is the same basic information with a little more explanation: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exposure_value

Never heard of either, but a wild guess... Shooting the moon?
Average home? Might have to know when it was built. Window sizes seem to vary around here depending on the age of the house. Windows and time of day can affect that. Ours has huge (but well-insulated) windows. My parent's home had fewer and smaller less-efficient windows. Interesting question though.

I just looked it up...it's the basic settings for a moon photo.
There is NO WAY to have a "standard rule" for interiors such as houses....because there is nothing standard about them...lol...
Some people light their homes well...some don't...some windows...some curtains....whatever rule you could come up with would be close to worthless.
The ONLY reason the sunny 16 works is that it's a KNOWN light intensity....

Meters work well 99% of the time if you know their shortcomings.
Sunny 16 is mainly a reality check and for situations that are nearly impossible to meter like nighttime street scenes and outdoor concerts.

Yep...Looney 11 is for Lunar Photographers...
i.e. (For lunar photography there is a similar rule known as the Looney 11 rule.)

I had been told to use Sunny 16 when photographing the Moon, but did not fully believe it, so I opened my camera up one f stop to 11 with good results. I was Looney and did not know...except for my wife who knew I was Looney.

Sunny 16: These are all for a bright sunny day.
Ap f/16. ISO 100. S/S 100. (to match ISO) If you change one you must change any other(s) to match.
Exp:Ap f/8. ISO 100. S/S 400. or f/8 ISO 50. S/S 200.
Ap f/22. ISO 200. S/S 100. or f/22 ISO 100 S/S 50
Only change is really is the D.O.F. hope this makes sense!
