Title: Chapter 2: Experiment with ISO speeds Post by: anne773 on January 22, 2012, 07:09:14 PM I am learning a lot from this chapter - need to experiment more though. I took this photo in a corner of my office - just overhead lighting that is not that bright. Previous to this learning, I was unable to get decent shots inside without a flash - this is so helpful to learn!
Used Manual mode Shutter Speed 1/60 Aperture Value f/4.5 ISO 3200 no flash Evaluative Meter Mode Focal length 34.0 mm Title: Re: Chapter 2: Experiment with ISO speeds Post by: goldcoastgolfer on January 22, 2012, 10:53:48 PM Nice work Anne. I know a lot of people that are afraid to turn up their ISOs but modern cameras really do a good job of taking low light shots. I have my camera set to automatically go up to 6400 in low light and sport situations.
Out of curiosity, does your lens have a type of vibration reduction technology built in? This will allow you keep the shutter open for longer without getting camera shake allowing you to take photos with a much slower shutter speed.

I'm still reading through my manual and things are making more sense now that I have been taking photos for a while and posting on Flickr on one of the 365 groups.
I did learn, from reading the manual :) , that I can save battery power by turning this off when my camera is mounted on a tripod. Since I like to photograph birds remotely I can save on that battery - just have to remember that fact!! Thanks for sending me on the little learning trip to help me remember I do have that feature! |
