Hi Dave. Here's some more information. I plan to use Fuji Provia 100F. Standard processing.
As far as subject is concerned, if you refer back to the website I cited, you will see the chart of exposure values with subjects that match for each value. I plan to find those or similar subject and conditions.
By the sunny 16 rule, I mean that I will start with that (1/[film speed] at f16) and adjust according the the appropriate exposure value listed on the chart.
For ex&le, I plan to go out on a starlit night and photograph some subject lit only by this. This has an ev of -6. Thus, since "sunny 16" has an ev of 15, I will have to adjust by 21 stops. I will snap the photo with this calculation and then snap the photo with whatever the meter reads in auto. I wasn't sure that I should stick to a particular subject because I wanted to get a feel for what the surroundings looked like at those exposures as well. Scott
