Sunny 16 Rule

Starting today I will be posting some of my favourite photos daily, until the last day of 2020. Sunny day photos of snow can result in over exposure. Here's a trick I learned from Bryan Peterson to get the correct exposure every time. It is called the sunny 16 rule. Set camera to manual, aperture f16, shutter speed 200 and iso 200.
