A quick video for people just starting with film photography! Hope you guys enjoyed it! Please comment if I missed anything or if you guys have any tips to share! Thanks everyone :)
Cut the guy some slack, he's young. It's still a very helpful video. I have old Nikon Fs, Hasselblad, etc with no light meters. So yes, not every film camera had a light meter. On the other hand I'm old and only found out today that for a few bucks I can put a light meter on my iPhone. :)
You can never go wrong with the sunny 16 rule, once you get it down you will never have to use a light meter again you can just go off of instinct! Haven't used a light meter in years!
@@calebhall6083 The relation between ISO, f number and shutter speed are always the same, across cameras, lenses, bench marks, digital/analog, etc. So this rule should be aplicable.
This was EXTREMELY helpful, probably the most relevant to me out of all point and shoot tutorials I’ve seen. My camera is old and is actually also a Minolta and doesn’t have a working light meter. I never thought to find an app, and also never thought to take multiple shots, I just am always worried about wasting film. But I guess if all my shots are on the wrong setting, I waste more that way. Thanks so much.
Sunny 16 is great although I use it slightly different. For asa400 film I set film speed to 250. Also the way I use it is bright sunny days hard shadows - F16. Sunny day clouds with soft shadows F11. light overcast F8, Overcast F5.6, dark overcast F4 and Shade F1.8-F2.8. Pretty similar though. I've also got a seconic light meter which is great if I can meter from the subject. Nice vid.
Howie Mudge Photography thank you! And that seems really cool! Isn't it almost about the same since you're setting your aperture lower stop to go with the slower shutter speed haha. That's really cool stuff! I'm definitely gonna have to give that a shot!
A lot of people totally misunderstand Sunny 16, as the Exposure Values and Sunny 16 are slightly different things. EV16 isn't "a bright sunny day", it's a bright sunny day with a reflective surface such as sand or snow, hence your shutter speed needs to be faster. A sunny day with strong shadows is EV15, and there's about 1 stop difference. It's also worth learning all the 'dark' EVs as they start at EV10 all the way down to EV-6, that's 17 of the 27 EV stops concerned with after sunset and even EV 11 is for the sunset itself. It's well worth printing off a crib sheet, a lot of older cameras either don't have a light meter or the one it has is inaccurate. Another good video, keep them coming.
There are a lot of guides out there that are based on digital, which moves everything is moved up one ev. Remember, with film we expose for shadows and with digital we expose for highlights.
hello!! I have a Yashica Fx3, that shows a green dot 🟢 when exposure is correct. I have read that it is better to overexpose one step ➕️. My yashica has center weight meter. I also have read that you should point towards a shadow, so that this 🟢 appears. But.. what happens when everything in the frame is very bright and no shadows? where should I point my meter? Should I underexposed my meter if I point towards a sunny area? I dont understand how to meter to have a good exposure. Hope someone can help m
Omg of course there's an app!!! Thank you! Fixing the light meter in my camera was quoted to START at $150. I found this video trying to find info on fixing my own camera, I have no tools and no experience, but I'm not about to spend $150 on it. Just got the LightMeter app, thanks so much for the tip
Great tutorial - very clear guidance. The bracketing rule was taught where I came into film photography at art college, pre-digital era. It really makes you consider your shots carefully, as opposed to point and shoot continuously. I'm here because I just bought a 50 year old fixed, wide lens Yashica and the meter won't work without a specific mercury battery, which of course are unavailable now, so I wanted to find out about LM apps. Done! Thank you for your great advice. :-)
Good enough; and very helpful advice, and hints. Thumbs up. However, I have up to four traditional SLR Film cameras; and three actually completely work, and I bought them used that way! Their built in light meters actually work; not much of a problem. Except that today there are no more Mercury Cell Batteries, so a battery of a slightly higher Voltage, that is 1.5V has to be installed. However, I've bought a "Mr-9 Battery Adapter for Film Camera & Exposure Meter Mr9 Px625 Px13 Fits for Lr44 1.4V Battery". Then a battery that has no more than 1.4 Volts is inserted A Canon FTbn QL SLR (updated 1973 version), was bought with a functioning light meter; I had it repaired, and CLA, but that was mostly because of a defective Film Advance Lever. A Nikon FM, of late 1970s era (starting in 1977), I bought a couple of years ago, although a bit beat up, it is in perfect working condition. Only a Praktica EE2 SLR, and the light meter is defective, so I'm getting it repaired; because I like things to work. Maybe it is a form of OCD, not certain. I also purchased several different focal length lenses, electronic flash for the Canon cameras, and Nikon FM SLR film camera. Very recently I bought a Canon F1 SLR, a bit beat up, but it works; light meter does function. Canon F1 has the advantage that it reaches a Shutter Speed of up to 1/2000; instead of at most 1/1000 of a second of most film cameras to the end of the 1970s, and early 1980s, for the most part.📷📸
yes!! I needed this and I use that app one of my teachers showed it to me and it helped me a ton over my break when I went to Mexico and needed my shots to be as close to perfect as possible
I generally fall back on the 'sunny 16' rule for cameras which don't have a built-in light meter, or the meter doesn't work, or if the meter is off/out of calibration. Where that gets tricky is when using filters which have a filter factor..you have to factor in the light loss of the filter and adjust accordingly. Same goes when using zoom lenses that change effective aperture as the focal length is changed. If I want to take photos with one of my film cameras which doesn't have a working light meter I bring along my digital camera (it's a relatively small one) and use that as a light meter.
Hey, thanks for sharing this. And I thought Bracketing was some weird function on digital SLRs. Obviously, like so much in the digital world, it has its roots in good old analogue. I'm on the point of getting a cheap 1970s SLR through the post and I know the light meter is probably dodgy, so this app at only €1.99 is the perfect remedy. Thanks for the tips, buddy.
Hello mate. Love your film stuff. after shooting digital for a few years now i started shooting film two days ago. Haven't had anything developed yet and don't know what the images look like. I'm gonna shoot two rolls. one roll using that meter app. and the other roll using the sunny 16 rule and see which works best even though my Praktica MTL Nova B SLR has a built in meter. Keep the videos coming pal.
We can all get stuck in P mode or A mode sometimes so its good to start out learning with a old camera with a broken light meter to really learn lol. And call me biased but that question at the end... I still have to say Minolta X-700! hahah
Nick Pirro what's going on nick!! I agree with what you say about P mode and A Mode. Better to learn it now rather than never. Also when's your next upload? Been looking for your videos bro!!!
I totally feel you with the overexposed shots when I first shot 35mm for about 2-3 rolls... I was blessed when a friend showed me that app lol. Mann, my black and white took a long time at my local lab then I had to find a lab to push film, which I did! Speaking of so , I just uploaded one film video this morning using ilford-delta 100, arrrghhhh !
I love this rule! Once I learned it, it was awlmost like instinct! But you still get that nervous feeling on the chance that you might've been wrong since I don't bracket lol I want to use as many exposure shots as i can. But I recently got 2 seconic light meters from a thrift shop at like $4 each and they don't use batteries so if i'm unsure i just use that lol. One thing about the rule tho, i was never sure if you were supposed to go up on the shutter speed for each stop you open the aperture or if you only change the aperture and everything else you leave alone

Should I underexposed my meter if I point towards a sunny area? I dont understand how to meter to have a good exposure. Hope someone can help me
can someone please help me figure out how to read the app? I see all the numbers come up but i’m confused as to what settings to put in because all i see is a heap of numbers? thanks in advance (newbie here)
So the top part is the aperture, the wheel is the shutter speed (In fractions of a second) and there's a little part where you can set your film's physical speed (pretty much sensitivity) which would probably be in ISO (ASA)
I actually use Sekonic light meter, and I depend on it’s readings, and i still get under exposed images , sometimes i even push my films and i stell get under exposed images. What u think is my problem? I use Mamiya 645 btw.
Okay, sunny 16 makes sense, can you do a tutorial on what to do if you want to go all the way open, say 1.9, to get a blurry background? Example, it's sunny, I have f/1.9, have ISO set at 200 (film speed), should my shutter be one stop up? Or should I go to 1/500? How does it work in more technical circumstances like that?
I understand the app, but what I don't get is the EV numbers. If you change those, the other settings change too. I say this because I have other apps with that issue and don't match my camera light meter (which works fine).
hello. i am newbie for film camera and i really want to learn how to use them.. so for sunny 16 rule, we choose the shutter speed to nearest number of iso?
Start with the 'Sunny16' aperture for the given conditions, plus 1/iso for shutter speed. Then, stop up your aperture, with corresponding increase in shutter speed (same number of stops to balance exposure).
I have the "Pocket Light Meter" app. It has worked well so far, but I'll try "My Light Meter." I also own the Sekonic Studio Deluxe L-28C2** handheld exposure meter [older model]. I try not to use my camera's internal meter because the settings change as you get further from subject. Meter up close then step back for photo.
I was testing my Ricoh xr500’s light meter by setting the said meter(ricoh) to my dslr. The shot was underexposed when I set it on my dslr. Do you think the light meter on ricoh is inaccurate? Thanks
does this mean that the battery doesnt work? I have an praktica bms electronic.. can i take photos without the battery? cause the shutter goes of, but the lightmeter doesnt work.
Hey... Noob here. So, I'm gonna buy this minolta on cheap marketplace with LM not functioning at all and WITH NO LENS. So what do you think, if I buy this camera and shoot it with your suggestion in this video AND NO LENS! I need your answer... Thx :(
I keep trying to use the sunny 16 rule but no matter how hard I try I jus tv can tv get ig yo work, my shot always turns out underexposed [ISO 400, shutterspeed 500 (I've tried 400 but it's still too dark) and aperture I've tried 16-8 on a sunny day] I'm fairly certain my lens isn't broken (but it wouldn't be super unrealistic if if was) if I'm calculating somthing wrong please tell me.
Sunny 16 is good to know even if you have a lightmeter because sometimes even the best electronic meter gets confused by complicated lighting situations. In my experience backlighting can be the worst for that.
lol damn bruh that sounds lit. I just started off few weeks ago. Trying to get to that level. Im getting better tho ! Its tricky to get good focus tho sometimes.
I recently bought an OM 10 from Olympus. I just tried to get a feel for it. What is now wondering me, the batteries are fresh and on "Check" the Camera give a beep and a red light on the front. Now I want to take a picture ( Am I right, that it always works in Aperture-Priority?!), but when I compare it with a digital camera, the Lightmeter gives me different values. How can I be sure, that the OM 10 will take the right exposure???
A quick video for people just starting with film photography! Hope you guys enjoyed it! Please comment if I missed anything or if you guys have any tips to share! Thanks everyone :)
sup bro? if i push my film should i set my iso on the mylightmeter app as the original film speed or the pushed iso..thanks
"Every 35mm film camera at one point had a functioning light meter."

Yessir! I 100% agree with you. After learning the sunny 16 rule its kind of second nature, like you said, instinct. haha, thanks for watching man!!
@@KingJvpes hello a Nikon D50 Digital SLR Camera Body, Black with a 50 mm lense and my meter broke. Does these methods work with my camera aswell?

I have a 4 pcs rangefinder camera, can it capture images without the light meter battery?
Can this be done with digital? My pentax ks2 just gave in and will be £130 to fix

This helped so much
I'm glad it did! When i started there wasn't too many video n stuff like this so i wanna put some out myself to help out those who are just starting!
does this mean that the battery doesnt work? I have an praktica bms electronic.. can i take photos without the battery? cause the shutter goes of, but the lightmeter doesnt work.

can you please make a video or tips on shooting film camera and or a video about beginners

Here's a little tool that I use with some of my non-metered cameras

Gaetan Cormier thanks for sharing! I'll take a look!
Start@ 1:17
do you happen to know why my light meter doesnt work when my cameras at 100 iso?
Is the only way to test if your light meter is broken to put batteries in it?
What if my minolta srt 101’s light meter its not working and there is no aperture what can i do with my film camera
Video starts at 2:05
0:11 no! shoot a zenit B, you will understand
Why is it so blurry when I look in my view finder
Not evry 35mm slr had a light meter there were full analog ones too
Sunny 16 is good to know even if you have a lightmeter because sometimes even the best electronic meter gets confused by complicated lighting situations. In my experience backlighting can be the worst for that.
I don't understand how to use the app someone help
You should learn sunny 16 rule :)
Wow man I never knew there were light Meter apps im gonna check it out
B rad yea man it's pretty dope!! It's so hopeful to use!
Smh I'm so synced with my canon a 1 that I don't even need a light meter. I just look at the shadows and change my settings 😤
LMAO I FEEL YOU
lol damn bruh that sounds lit. I just started off few weeks ago. Trying to get to that level. Im getting better tho ! Its tricky to get good focus tho sometimes.
I recently bought an OM 10 from Olympus. I just tried to get a feel for it. What is now wondering me, the batteries are fresh and on "Check" the Camera give a beep and a red light on the front. Now I want to take a picture ( Am I right, that it always works in Aperture-Priority?!), but when I compare it with a digital camera, the Lightmeter gives me different values. How can I be sure, that the OM 10 will take the right exposure???
How is the my light meter app suppose to be accurate when it's telling me to set my aperture to a setting that is so low I don't even have it. BRUH🙄
Thankyouuu
What if I want everything in f/2.0 because of bokeh? :p
Then you would simply increase the shutter speed by the same amount of stops as you opened up the aperture.
The best light meter is your eye. Go outside look around and pick your exposure. Your eyes are your meter. If you can't do it yet, learn.
Finally!
