Hello there! This news article is the result of a thumb share thread I posted few days ago on the dA forum along with pictures from my favorites. I hope you enjoy them.
This is a collection of deviations showing real Pinups in the classic Retro poses from various Artists. For the 4rd time I present a variation of Vintage Pinup Queens as well as fresh modern Pinup art. If you love Polkadots, seamed Nylons, Plateau-Heels and and Miles-long-legs you should not miss this collection.
It amazes me how many people are completely oblivious to the ISO feature of their SLR. When they do find it, the common reaction is "Hey! If I keep my ISO at 1600 I can always shoot with a wicked fast shutter speed! WOW!"
But, eh, not really. You see, the ISO function determines the light sensitivity of your sensor. So, in overly bright settings, the ISO can be set to as low as 100 since there is no need to become even more light sensitive. Darker environments are where a higher ISO is better suited, because your camera will detect more light this way.
When you need a slow or fast shutter speed, and the light conditions simply aren't proving for it, you may have to change your ISO setting. When there is more light, a faster shutter speed is ideal, and vis versa in low light conditions. However, if your images are overexposed with a slow shutter speed on a bright day, you may want to lower your ISO level. When you want a faster shutter speed on a gloomier day, you may have to increase your ISO. We all know low-light shooting can be a pain in the ass, and this can reduce the risk of blur.
Unless you want grain, which may occasionally be the case, shooting at a high ISO isn't usually preferable. The higher the ISO number, the more noise/grain you will see in the image. When you need to enlarge an image, which can cause pixelation, grain doesn't help.
My personal technique? Shoot at the lowest ISO that works for what you're shooting. For general use, 200-400 is usually ideal.
I know what you mean! I can't count the times I've forgotten to boost the ISO in low light conditions, which has messed up some of my pictures (take a look at "Not Another Brick in the Wall" as an example). Now, with a camera that has an ISO button, hopefully it won't be too much of a problem to remember in the future
Haha I've done the same thing - more of the opposite though. I'll bump it up one night, and then forget to bump it back down when I'm shooting in broad daylight.

Yeah (normally) you want to use the lowest ISO that you can use. I shoot at ISO 100, with my 18-70mm, and with my 50-500mm ISO 400-1600.
I've been shooting a three day festival at night. With the cameras set to ISO 1600, you still have only 1/10 of a second shutter speeds. So make sure you have a steady hand, and a monopod/tripod.
I specifically chose a Canon because back then (a year and a half ago) the Canon sensors were so much better shooting at high ISO than any other brand. I do a fair amount of low-light shooting, and I prefer to not use flash whenever possible, so 1600 or even 3200 ISO is a lifesaver. With some good noise-reduction software, that is. Even my 30D has some noise issues at 3200.
Of course, high ISO combined with a super fast lens (f2.8 or, yum, f1.8) and you can go anywhere!
The newest 5D from Canon has a 28,000 ISO capability. Which is just...INSANE. I want one.

We want to know what love means to you!
Get your creative juices flowing and design a movie poster for "Paper Heart" that focuses on the theme "What Does Love Mean to Me?".
