Sunny Sixteen
We're here visiting Sunny 16
Basically, the Sunny 16 Rule is on a bright sunny day, set your aperture at f /16 and convert the ISO rating to the closest shutter speed. If your ISO is 100, then set the aperture to f/16 and shutter speed to 100th a second. The exposure will then be correct.
I hadn't heard of the Sunny 16 Rule but I remember the analoge years. On the boxes of film were little drawings picturing exposure guidelines in different circumstances / different weather conditions.
No sun today. All the photos shot with the sunny 16 rule came out heavily underexposed. I could change the aperture or the shutter speed. Instead I cheated in Photoshop honoring the exposure guidelines on the boxes of film.
