Shutter Speed / ISO Chart

I'm a big fan of handy little charts and job aids Scott - thanks for putting this together and sharing it with the group . - Stu

Handy reference.
But in the same vein: I have an application on my iPhone by the name of PhotoBuddy that does the same and additionally gives me DOF, flash exposure in relation to the Guide Number and view angle at different focal length.
Highly recommended.

I could have used this last night when I was trying to take some night shots.

Thank you!!

But, in fact it is nothing more than a simple calculation in the end. Ofcourse, it can save some time, but what I got taught is, decrease ISO 1 full stop is equal to increase the shutterspeed or aperture value by 1 full stop, which also makes pretty much sense.

Not trying to be a prick or something, the chart really is a nice tool.

Absolutely - it's sort of a variation on the Sunny16 rule.... except that you're obviously doing this longer shutter speeds.

For those who may have not noticed its relationship...every column to the right of the leftmost column of the chart is a simple doubling of the column to its left for the shutter speed (and the ISO value is simply half the column to its left). If you ever leave the chart at home when you think you need it, simply do the arithmetic in your head as there is no magic or complex formula used to derive the columns.

Some of us took easy math in school =D

This chart is going to save my hide!

2-4-8-16...
3-6-12-24...
5-10-20-40...
7-14-28-56...

every other sequence is a derivation of the above, or the doubling of any other prime number. Sorry to hear if the multiplication tables for 2 are difficult.

The alternative is finding the chart, and finding a flashlight to illuminate it in the dark, then finding and setting the number in the column. Seems much more time consuming and bothersome than "two times X equals..."

I'm more of a "calculator" fan and I sure would like to find apps like this http://iphone.ambertat​ion.de/photobuddy/ for the Verizon phone or Nintendo DS

To each their own I guess?

This is a quick ref. chart for those that want to use it. Insulting people isn't really that productive.

As for the lighting, I always have a little LED light attached to my camera strap.

It was not my intent to insult. Perhaps I should have been less subtle in providing tongue-in-cheek response, "Sorry to hear if the multiplication tables for 2 are difficult".
If the table was anything more than a simply doubling of numbers, I would not have attempted to give people a bit of insight about how they could do without a table which required the use of a flashlight to see in the dark long-exposure circumstances for which it was made.
