I leave mine at 200 all the time. I won't even use it for night shots.

 

i'll shoot anywhere from ISO 50 if i want to shoot long exposure, ISO 100 (preferred for daytime), to ISO 1600 for concerts

 

x2 on that one.

 

ahhh its a rainy gloomy day

finally getting the hang of the camera

 

here are a couple snaps I did while practicing with the camera
I finally got around to learning how to work the iso, time and aperture on it.
canon 50d

 

nice, thats some serious DOF

 

did you take those pictures at chillies?

 

few real quick snapshots

 

nah it was at a friends coffee shop.

 

 

i love the first one

 

 

So what is the secret to sunrise/sunset pictures? I remember trying to get a sunrise a while back but the pics all came out really dark orange or something if I remember right.

 

i really need to get a camera and learn HDR.

 

pics of the puppy i just adopted while she's napping

 

nice don. what kind of dog?

 

lab/pit mix

 

the ISO should be your first assessment when setting up your camera for a shot.

i concur... AUTO FTL. just buy a point&shoot. Now you have an overgrown point and shoot that you can't fit in your pocket.

actually my favorite thing to do to people i can tell buy a huge expensive camera (because they can afford to) and don't how to use it is sound interested and ask to see it and ask what specific buttons do or what ISO they are shooting at and why... some responses are priceless. about 80% of time they have no idea what they are doing at all.

 

I keep my ISO at 100 unless I absolutely have to raise it up. And I also prefer not to use flash. I think natural lighting makes the best pics...although there is a time and place for your own lighting.

 

^ same here. if i can shoot at ISO100 i will.. only time i break that is concert photog at 1600.

oo yah did anyone else jump on the 12 gigs of CF or SD for free from wolf camera today? (well i paid like 10 for shipping and i have ot wait for a Mail In Rebate for 60) lol
