Shoot Manually With Out A Meter
If you have ever used a manual film SLR or rangefinder you may have encountered shooting without the aid of a meter. If so this guide may seem a little redundant. However if you've ever been interested in vintage photography and cameras this is a must tutorial. There is a rule in photography for meterless shooting called the Sunny 16 rule.
"On a sunny day set aperture to f/16 and shutter speed to the [reciprocal of the] ISO film speed [or ISO setting] for a subject in direct sunlight."
From this and the nature of shutter speeds one can derive the speeds and f/stop combinations. Here is the chart that I have had the best luck with.
