ISO Settings Guide for Available Light

Jeff Galbraith writes, "ISO, as it relates to digital photography, is an indicator of how sensitive to light your camera’s sensor is, and most digital cameras allow you to adjust this sensitivity. The majority of low to mid-range digital cameras have an ISO range that goes from somewhere in the neighborhood of 50 or 100 up to around 400 to 800. The lower the ISO number, the more light that is necessary to get proper exposure."         Full Article

Take more time to think thru what impact the subject has on you and subsequently how you want to communicate your perspective or interpretation of that subject.
