No Metering Challange

[asnow]

I was listening to a podcast where they had a challenge to go out and shoot up to a roll of film and use no metering. They simply used the sunny 16 rule as a basis to determine the exposure. (Mind you they did use film which has a larger latitude than digital)

This seems like an interesting exercise to understand lighting and exposure. So I'm going to try this assignment for myself. Go out and take maybe 20-30 pictures. Shoot in manual and not use the LCD preview to see how the exposre went after shooting the picture. Wait until I get back to see the results. Analyze the pictures and exif data to see how well I did and repeat until I can get most pictures right.

Not sure if this is suitable as an official assignment, but maybe an unofficial one. What do you think Marko?

I'm gonna drive to work tomorrow with a blindfold on, if that goes well I'll try not using the meter next time I shoot
