Photography 101 : What is ISO?

Updated June 2023 ISO is a crucial term in the world of photography. It refers to the sensitivity of a camera’s image sensor to light. A higher ISO setting makes the sensor more sensitive, allowing for capturing images in low-light conditions without compromising image quality. This parameter is essential for photographers, as it enables them to adapt to various lighting situations and achieve the desired exposure. Whether you are a professional photographer looking to rent a photo studio or an enthusiast exploring the art of photography, understanding ISO will greatly enhance your ability to capture stunning images in any setting. Knowing how the ISO setting work and what purpose it serves in your camera is crucial. Being one of the three pillars of the Exposure Triangle (the other two are a shutter speed and the aperture) ISO number cannot be undermined or disregarded. While the other two parameters are relatively easy two understand: shutter speed is the speed with which camera captures the light, aperture is the size of the hole through which the light is captured – the ISO number seems to be more mysterious. It is not. The ISO parameter is actually really easy to understand. Let us explain it to you!

WHAT IS ISO?

ISO parameter is the only parameter is the triangle of exposure that doesn’t have mechanical nature. Instead it is controlled electronically and is related to changing the level of sensitivity of the sensor in the camera. The sensor is the most important part of your camera. It captures the light with each of its pixels and later creates the whole image. At times when there is not enough light to capture to get a bright enough photo, boosting the ISO number helps the sensor to capture more light…and more “noise”. In the video provided at the end of the article a good comparison is drawn where the camera relates to the light like a microphone relates to the sound. If you are trying to record the whisper on the microphone, you need to boost the sensitivity to make the whisper audible. With that you will hear not only the voice but all the background noise and a hum of electronics. The same goes for the camera. When you increase the ISO number (sensitivity) you can brighten up darker pictures but with more grain in it. Take a look at the following picture:

Photo taken from losdaerohshark.tk

Every camera has a “Base ISO”, which is the lowest ISO number you can set to produce the highest quality image without any adding any noise. Most of the cameras have Base ISO number of 100. And then it goes in sequence of geometric progression – 100, 200, 400, 800, 1600, 3200, etc. So each time you level up the number, the sensitivity doubles on the sensor. For example, for the ISO 400 you double the amount of light captured compare to ISO 800. ISO Speed Example: ISO 100 – 1 second ISO 200 – 1/2 of a second ISO 400 – 1/4 of a second ISO 800 – 1/8 of a second ISO 1600 – 1/15 of a second ISO 3200 – 1/30 of a second

For the most part you you should stick with the base ISO when shooting in a pretty lit environment like our FD studio to avoid adding any noise.

So when do we use higher ISO?

WHEN YOU USE HIGHER ISO.

You should increase the ISO when there is not enough light for the camera to be able to quickly capture an image. So shooting indoors without a flash you might want to increase ISO to avoid introducing the blur. ALSO, if you are shooting very fast moving objects, like running animals or sports, higher ISO would help to freeze the moment and get that money shot. However, be cautious of increasing your ISO too much and introducing unpleasant noise. Test your camera beforehand to see where the sweet spot is. Every camera is different. Usually full frame cameras let you shoot with higher ISO without any noise. Also, depending on how advanced the sensor technology is newer cameras with the same size sensor have higher ISO capabilities.

Take a look at the video below posted by Apalapse that explains the ISO in a very easy to grasp way!

Hooray! The St. Valentine’s Day is coming! Being one of the most popular holidays of the year brings a lot of expectations for lovers and couples and promises to be unforgettable and full of creative surprises. However, with our busy daily routine it often happens that there is absolutely no time to think the surprise through and each year the same question pops in mind – What to gift and how to make it creative for the love of your life. A nice photo shoot with a high professional photographer could be a very interesting solution of your problem. Nowadays a picture is a depositary box for best memories and happiest days you spent together; and memories of this holiday’s celebration are the necessity for your love-story photo album. Bellow you can find some ideas how to make St. Valentine’s photo shoot special.

1. Use any props that speak about this date.

What is the most popular Valentine’s hallmark that comes to mind? You are right – the red heart (and unicorns, of course unicorns). A heart is an attractive, sensual and straight forward “I Love You” hinting symbol for any amorous celebrations that one can think of. So fill your photo session with a ton of red hearted balloons, put on the underwear with the heart printed on one cheek and bring your puppy with the “LOVE” labeled sweater on… and make cool pictures!

2. Color each other!

Drawing excites – drawing on your lover’s body excites two times stronger. Express all your love, passion and all your sensual fire to your partner through the color, patterns and a the playful process of brushing itself. Lots of variations is a must when it comes to body painting. You can paint just each others faces or the whole body – the decision is yours, yet make sure to explore as many characters as your paint amount permits. CAUTION, make sure to use a paint that easily washes off; otherwise good luck with explaining to your friends that you did NOT temper with that ink security tag in a clothing store.

3. Put your attention on what your background speaks about.

Drawing your significant other on the paper backdrop is very romantic. Regardless of the your level of skill there is still a room for imagination to create a beautiful, meaningful or maybe just for sheer giggles artwork. A tip for guys who would like to make a proposal – large font, bold, red, New Times Roman (if you mastered calligraphy) phrase “will you marry me?” should be screaming off your custom background. Do not forget the decor – flowers, grass, wood or heaps of hershey kisses.

4. Feel like a superstar couple.

Imagine old Hollywood movies – “The great Gatsby”, for example, – a lot of glitter, pearls, gold, – it’s a dream to become a part of this world at least for one day, isn’t it? Ladies chic-dressed in long attires, gentleman wearing posh dinner jackets and bowler hats – that sounds inspiring! Chose any movie characters you both like, ask a stylist to prepare a suitable wardrobe and you’re very welcome to be anyone you like at your St. Valentine’s pictures!

5. Express your emotions by your hobby.

We believe that each couple has or should have a mutual, interesting hobby. Find your own. Doing yoga or playing guitar/triangle or dancing together – just ask the photographer to make pictures of your favorite time activity. Dynamic, fresh, unique images is what you will get after being involved in this unusual photo session.

6. Make your feelings warm again!

Finally, in case if your beloved doesn’t want to take a part in the photo shoot but you still want to capture this moment- make a private erotic session as a surprise for your darling. Don’t be shy, put on the hottest outfit, turn on the sexiest music, start to move and trust your photographer. Play with your love’s imagination! What’s not prohibited-that’s allowed!
