ISO

This is a short and simple explanation of what ISO sensitivity is, as well as the benefits of both low and high ISO sensitivities. I hope you enjoy it!

This lesson is one of many taught on my new DVD, Digital Photography Crash, it contains over 90 minutes of video instruction, made especially for the beginning photographer. It can be purchased for just $19.95 plus shipping from the following link: http://michaelthementor.com/store/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=...

Great videos! When do you determine the need for a tripod --- shutter speed or aperture? Thanks, Michael.

[MichaelTheMentor]

@HNDNV07 Almost always shutter speed (when shooting for very long exposures). Using a very small aperture often requires longer shutter speeds, so it really depends on what you are doing.

so um..to get clear images, i can decrease the ISO to the lowest then find some way to maybe manually increase the amount of light?

[MichaelTheMentor]

@siyuannn Exactly! Longer Shutter Speed and a wider Aperture opening will do that!

thanks for the info! If the digital iso is just an artificial boost to the signal and just amplifies the light, does a higher iso in film produce less noise and grain or is it the same concept? just wondering... thanks!

[MichaelTheMentor]

same concept. High ISO films will have more noise because they are more sensitive to light.

Very very informative....

@ashishvirmani08 but couldnt you just use a lower shutter speed with a tri-pod? or use an external flash if its an action shot?
