Hi,

Just to let anyone know that orginally tried to help me out with my orginal query:

'shooting inside a stadium using ISO 1600 and f16, what would be the nearest correct shutter speed be?'

The correct answer would be to use the closest shutter speed to the film speed. I ended up getting the answer.

So thanks to anyone that tried to help out!!!

Cheers,
Nicky :)

Actually I think you want

"use the closest shutter speed to the reciprocal of the film speed"

This means that for ISO 100, you'd want 1/100th second or 1/125th depending on your camera. For ISO 200, you'd need 1/200th or 1/250th depending on your camera. So on and so forth etc, ad nauseum.

David was right in his response to your last post, without a camera to truly test this out you're going to be working in a pretty esoteric manner here. What we can tell you and what you can find on a website are poor substitutions for just how quickly you would understand this if you could just try it for yourself. If you don't have a camera available then this may be the best route but if you can lay your hands on a camera and some film you could probably get a firm handle on this effect quickly.

Hi,

Cheers, I just needed to know this for H/W not for personal use.

I understand now :)

Nicky.
