Plus I keep a little gorilla tripod in case I don't want to use my flash and need to keep my camera steady.Charlottehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16349403417525132723noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7317146076532815711.post-5526454421493065342009-07-14T21:39:25.962-06:002009-07-14T21:39:25.962-06:00Mom--I hope Tandoori Grill wasn't your favorit...Mom--I hope Tandoori Grill wasn't your favorite Indian restaurant because it's been closed. (It was nice while it lasted.)<br /><br />Mindy--That is a good explanation. My camera ranges quite a bit with ISO, so I'll have to experiment. Now I can remember that ISO stands for "Insects Searching for Orbs (of light)". Actually, I looked it up. ISO = International Standards Organization, but I like the insect acronym better.Maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01583286432601536145noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7317146076532815711.post-83341861312034987682009-07-14T21:17:54.704-06:002009-07-14T21:17:54.704-06:00Best explanation of ISO:

ISO 200 means you have 200 little bumblebees collecting light, which in plenty of light is enough. But if you don't have a lot of light, you need MORE bumblebees to go out and collect light, say 800, or even 1600. But the higher the ISO, or the more bumblebees, the grainier your picture. So you trade off between catching the right amount of light and having a non-grainy picture. Outside in bright sunlight, you can get away with a very low ISO. In dimmer environments, you will need to increase it in order to have a sharp image. I don't know how adjustable your settings are, but you can do a test where you maintain aperture and SS and just fiddle the ISO. You will see that your picture gets progressively more grainy as the ISO increases. <br /><br />hope that helps!mindyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18281399488401861671noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7317146076532815711.post-2017583974884513162009-07-14T17:25:26.279-06:002009-07-14T17:25:26.279-06:00Maybe we'll just visit our favorite Indian res...Maybe we'll just visit our favorite Indian restaurant when we visit Provo and invite you to join us. Very interesting about use of flash; I never would have thought. Also, very cool that you found time to take a class.VickieGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01586706935693428325noreply@blogger.com
