i know a lot of you aren't comfortable with high ISO and noise and what not....what are your reasons that you love/hate ISO?

It's new to me and I'm not certain what I should expect from it. I should experiment more since I love going over to Coronado and taking night time pictures. However I also have a feeling that's not all there is to high ISO's.

I've been shooting 320 as my base ISO for a lot of things and I'm very happy with the out come. I guess I should dedicate a whole day to shooting high ISO settings... Maybe the gardens in Balboa would be good for that. Or even better I'm going to Disneyland and maybe I can do some shots without flash on a few rides?

i just shot some 3200 iso today. some light streaks for fun. ive just never tried it but i think im gonna try it this weekend or tomorrow.

DonNguyen

light streaks with ISO 3200?

snowromance

ditto. ???

I was bored and wanted to see how it would come out. Long exposures but I just held it.

DonNguyen

thats long exposure....not high ISO

SquallLHeart

yea.. you can do "light streaks" with a low ISO.. heheh..

road was a tad bumpy?

l1ttleslugger

well the iso is high. sorry im still trying to grasp all the terms.
yeah it was bumpy, it doesnt help that its an old el camino with stiff springs.

This was from my car shoot two gas pumps. ISO3200 Shutter speed 25 and f4.5 Canon 7D using 28-135mm lens.



I also shot a few down at the La Jolla cove area at 6400ISO.



and this one. It was fairly overcast with even darker clouds moving in. After about 45 minutes of rain free shooting as soon as I got in the car torrential down pour... Talk about luck.



However, I still think I'm missing the point of High ISO shooting or as the LOL Cats say amidoingitrite?

i did these today at iso 3200 i actually like it better this way as opposed to a lower iso.

convert to black and white and see how u like that.

l1ttleslugger

what about this one. i liked the colors in this one alot.

Jon

It works for that pic.

l1ttleslugger

im trying to shoot mostly in higher iso.

In general, I would find that undesirable. It's an effect that is pleasant in different situations, but on a regular basis something that would just be distracting.

Elijahtc

agreed.

l1ttleslugger

Well I shoot in both. Usually I shoot at 100 but lately I've been shooting 100 then shooting the same thing at either 3200 or 1600. Just to see how it would come out.

I have *NO* problem shooting up to ISO 6400 on my 7D... I am not afraid of a little noise, I have software for that if needed.

The 7D handles high ISO very well, I love it.
