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.

The End Of Monthly Photo Of The Day Themes
I am ending the the monthly theme for photo of the day, mostly because, I am getting really bored with flowers. From here on out I am going to be shooting what ever I damn well please. Thanks alot. I know this will put a damper on the recap idea I had earlier, however I will only pick the best out for a non featured recap.
A Fellow Photographer
Just today I received a comment from a good friend of mine, Marcus Langevin, whom has just started a photo blog here on wordpress.com . He hasn't posted much of his work yet, however having seen many of his shots in person, I can tell you he has great talent.
I ask anyone interested to go check out his photo blog marcuslangevin.wordpress.com
