@amandal I had my ISO set at 1250 which is what I do for my high key beach shots...but here's what I don't understand. Isn't a high ISO a faster speed and therefore wouldn't it let in less light not more? I don't really understand it but it's working for me.
@edie Dude, I have no idea. I process things high key. I so need to learn how to work my camera better. I will try setting the ISO higher sometime and see what happens. I do find higher ISO's tend to be grainier photos for me anyway.
@amandal I took a bunch with my ISO on automatic and they look pretty normal, then I through it on 1250 and they are all like this. Very bright. (I processed on the snowball one though a little) All the really bright beach ones were like that and I didn't question it until recently. Maybe I should ask Alexis.
@edie That is when I have tried higher ISO's...in the dark. I have a hard time figuring ISO. I have to set it on my camera when using A mode, but tend to always keep it at 400 which typically works for me. Yeah, next year I want to learn my camera inside and out. And probably do 365 way less.
@amandal@edie i don't know the tech stuff, but high ISO makes your camera more light sensitive which lets you use a higher shutter speed... typically one uses it in low light to be able to get a decent action shot, or at least a chance of shooting handheld.. but it's fun to play with in strong light because it does some interesting things as in here... however, lower ISO means lower noise... so better quality shots will tend to be at 100 or 200 ISO... i think the better your sensor and the higher the number of megapixels, the higher ISO you can go without losing too much detail... and you can always use noise reduction software to reduce the graininess, altho you tend to lose detail as well...
i like to keep my ISO at 100... but it really depends on what i am shooting and what the light is like... i will play around with it quite a bit if that's what i think is called for in a particular situation...
@northy Yes. Thanks. That's awesome. I love playing with it in bright light for exactly this reason but I do have trouble trying to use a high ISO in dark light...grainy etc. "more light sensitive' as a description helps me make sense of why it would work this way though as opposed to "faster shutter speed" which seems like less light would get in.
Not yet but I will investigate. I don't have LR5. Kind of sad but I'm still just working on picmonkey. I will make 2014 my year to remedy that. Just faved Zombie Dude. Awesome shot. Thanks again lady!
