In this week’s episode, we discuss what pro photographers know about ISO that most beginners avoid. Seems that beginner photographers, especially those aspiring landscape photographers, are all conditioned with the mindset that the only way to obtain a clean and noise free photograph is to use ISO 100 and only ISO 100. And, if this value is ever increased, well it could mean absolute destruction to the overall image quality of your photograph! The reason I know this is because I was one of these beginner photographers that was stuck in this “ISO 100” mindset for years, but once I broke free from this habit, a whole new world of photographic possibilities opened up for me. I hope you enjoy this week’s video and as always thanks so much for watching! – Mark D.

    My main concern is the drastically reduced dynamic range that quickly ramps up past about even iso 400. People focus on noise performance ,with iso invariant sensors noise is not really a major concern anymore ,but even high end cameras with 14 -15 stops of dynamic range at base iso, fall to 10, 8 stops of DR past even 800 iso. There are compromises everywhere, I personally don’t worry about blurred leaves, I think it reflects the motion and wind inherent in the scene. Thanks for the video.

    What is this ISO i hear of, last i checked it was ASA (back in the day)…….

    Love the chanel but on this topic i think it would of been helpful to mention sensor size as your GFX will perform
    Way better at higher iso than a crop sensor. I can see a mammoth difference even on my GFX50R compared to a 60mp shot on sigma fp L.

    Must add im a bit jealous of your location too. Love NC, our daughter did 2 seasons camp america near Ashville so we had to vist. We will be back im sure 🙏

    I'm back into photography after about a 15 year break and I'm amazed at how good high ISO images look compared to what I used back in the early 2000s. When I moved to all digital (from medium format film cameras) in the early 2000s I was using Nikon D1X, D100, and Fujifilm S3. I doubt I used any of them over ISO 400, MAYBE ISO 800. I now shoot with Nikon D700, 7100 and 7200. I can comfortably shoot them at 1600. Newer models may be better at higher ISOs than what I currently have, but I'm very happy with the results so far. Just subscribed. 🙂

    I.S.O. Harkening back to the film & darkroom days…..when you set your I.S.O. according to the speed of the film you were using. Which, btw the higher the I.S.O. of the film would cause more grain in your images which essentially is “noise” in today’s world😂

  9. Brandon Johnson

    When I started photography, I was told ISO 100 was the best, but I've always used different ISO. Now, I use the ISO to best match what shutter speed I am wanting. I think for beginners it's because normally they start out with super basic cameras which don't do well with high ISO.

    I actually say both. It just depends. 🤣

  10. Pete Mulhearn

    My fear of high ISO comes from my early days in photography in the 1960s when any film over 100 ISO would produce grainy grey shots. For colour transparencies I used 64 ISO film.

    When I started to learn photography, I read the book Stunning Digital Photography by Tony Northrup. They explained that ISO should be pronounced eye-so. So I have always said eye-so…

    🇨🇦/🇺🇸… @MarkDenneyPhoto… BACK in the FILM days We used "A.S.A." (American Standards Association) and so, out of habit, stated it as an Acronym. Along side the ASA on the camera was ISO and so it seemed like it was also an acronym and so old folk like me said "Eye Ess Oh". Now… the organization itself states that it is NOT an acronym and that ISO is DERIVED from the Greek word "Isos" and so EYE-SO is supposedly correct. HOWEVER, note this line from Wiki… "During the founding meetings of the new organization, however, the Greek word explanation was not invoked (from the meeting minutes??), so this meaning may be a false etymology." SO HERE IS MY SOLUTION… say it as an acronym BUT SAY IT FAST!! 😉

  17. Christopher Grove

    🇨🇦/🇺🇸… Even Micro Four Thirds sensors have improved so much and editing software noise reduction has also improved, that ISO is less of a consideration these days.

    I have recently found that I love 640 for portraits and landscapes. I went out this past weekend to the gorge and if I wasn't doing a long exposure I was trying to shoot at 400-640iso all I could. There is something with the colors and softness of some images that I like from higher ISO. Even in post sliding the noise slider to the right softens images just a little. For action sports I do my best to stay at 100 as long as my shutter speed supports it. Great video, haven't heard anyone talk about ISO before.

  22. Stanley Kubick³

    How photogs think anyone's interested in an 80% talking head video never ceases to amaze me. Every single photography video, tutorial or review has a middle aged white guy sitting in a LED lit office trying to seem relevant. Just stop. It's pitiful.

  23. Andreas K.

    First of all, as a photographer from Germany, I pronounce ISO Eehzo 🙂
    I always shoot – with very few exceptions – with the ISO Auto setting. However, I usually have this limited to ISO 1600. Beyond that, the noise increases significantly with my Canon APS-C cameras.
