Still professional journalist photography dead?

Wow. My 1990s film-cam Minoltas had top speeds of 1/16,000th and
1/12,000th and I never needed to go that close to our principal light
source.

ISO 100, sunny 16 and f/1.4?

Ahem, aperture in the "Sunny 16" rule is, well, f/16.

Sorry...

Yeah right. If you are math challenged, stick to f/16.

could believe what it liked, including the idea that it had been hard done
by. It was allowed to keep its horse, since horses were so cheap to make.

You might want to go back and read what the rule is.
But just to save you the math for a sunny day, whey you are using the
funny 16 rule shooting at ISO 100 and f/1.4 would give you a shutter
speed of 1/13,000 sec.

Sunny-16 is a reference for which reciprocity applies.

eg: for ISO-100 f/16 1/100 is the same as ISO 100 f/8 1/400 is the same
as ISO 400 f/16 1/400

I've shot 1/12,000 @ f/22 and 2 more stops of ND filters at ISO 100.
From the surface of the earth. I assure you.

Kinda begs the question: What were you shooting? A blast furnace?

Shaddow graphs of leaves. Sun was the backlight _and_ properly exposed.

Cheers,

So that would be about the same exposure that you would use on the
surface of the sun?

No, that would be another stop or two as there is the earth's atmosphere
to account for, and the day in question had a lot of smoke in the
atmosphere from forest fires burning in northern Quebec (it was the
coloring of the sky due to that that prompted me to shoot at the sun in
first place).
