Hi as the heading shows i am desperate to find a way that i can understand the shutter speed readings on my canon 5d mk 111.
To cut to the chase as it were i have been shooting for several years now so i am confident with my camera and have no problems with iso f/stops etc or even shutter speed.
My problem is and i know everyone says its very simple.BUT. i am not able to calculate in my head what the shutter speeds display show me and how to convert into what my long exposure app needs to know. I am now wanting to start long exposure shooting 6 stop big stopper etc etc. Before i go on any further i am very very practical person and i wont say why but i cannot calculate or read fractions or maths. I have tried to make up a basic spreadsheet converting canon fractions into what i need to dial in to exposure calculator but not very successfull. I would apreciate any help .But in the nicest possible way i only need to know how i convert them ,nothing else. Regards
