Our next club meeting will be held on July 14th from 7:15 to 9:15 pm at the WKU Alive Center located at 1818 31-W Bypass in Bowling Green. Meetings are generally held on the second Tuesday of every month.

What's in the name?
Our name was derived from the Sunny 16 Rule. Photographers began using the rule in the mid-1930's. The rule was created before the light meter.
The Rule:
General exposure for a sunny day is 1/(film speed) for the shutter speed and an aperture of f/16. If you're photographing outside on a sunny day using 100 speed film the exposure would be 1/125 of a second. This would capture the scene as you generally perceive it.

Club Activities
Sunny 16 is approximately nine years old and continues to gain exposure and expand. The current club roster includes seventy members. One of our main activities, every year, is participating in the Kentucky State Fair. Our members have faired well in recent years. Members are active in photographing various community events during the year including Special Olympics and Glasgow Highland Games. Members participate in day and weekend field trips during the year. We practice our skills, test equipment and learn from each other. Please check out our "Calendar" page for our club trips and area activities.
