Its funny I just wrote a reply on another forum about the same topic!
Much of it depends shutter speed and aperture that you require for a given scene.
- For landscape shots, even in poor light, I tend to shoot at iso100 with small aperture and lo...
I shoot mainly at 400 but occasionally I do use 800 especially with my 400mm lens as it is 600mm on the digital in lower light situations and late in the afternoon at rodeos to stop the action. I do a lot of wheelchair racing action and as my Pent...
Thanks for the feedback Sue. It's appreciated.
Eventually I'll get around to posting some of the shots I've done at different settings. I like seeing actual evidence of things so it'll be interesting to do the experimenting this weekend =)
Shooting at ISO 100 is okay, if the light is nice and bright (or if not, you use a tripod) and if your subject is still or fairly still. ISO 100 does have the least amount of grain in a digital camera. However, the digital cameras coming out now, ...
I'm still shooting mostly at ISO 100, but am experimenting with different ISO's this weekend to see how badly the noise affects the shots.
I recall now that he mentioned that there's little noise at 100, but noise increases as ISO levels increase...
Thanks Mark and Sue for your valuable replies to the question. I am new into phtography and trying to come to terms with f- stops, ISO and such like. Glynn
Hi Marc
Generally you should use the lowest ISO you can which will give you the results you are after. I set the camera at 100 ISO when I can but many situations do require a faster setting. Concerts I use 1600 ISO on average but have changed to s...
I shoot at any ISO which will give me the best and most appropriate (for me) shutter speed that I want. For instance in a fairly dark situation I would use quite a high ISO, especially if I wasn't using a tripod but if I was outdoors in very brigh...
I'm wondering what other peoples opinions are on this. I recently took a lot of shots for a friend for her business and I tended towards using ISO100 for pretty much the whole lot (using flash bouncing for lighting as needed).
Of course, when I p...

Also, were these the actual colours on the day, or did you edit them in? If they're natural that's just...well...insane (and cool).
I got a cheap (read as: $350) Tamron 18-200mm lense for that reason. Too expensive to buy the GOOD macro lenses. I also found that I almost never use my default camera lense (18-55) because of this. The Tamron calls itself a macro, and it does an ...
I don't know how useful it is, but maybe it would be possible by removing the glass? The glass on an iMac is generally held on by a number of extremely powerful magnets. Here's a rundown on removing it. I'm not sure if it would void your warranty ...
Alternatively, you're sending the photo to them (and it looks good), but their monitors are all wrong (so it looks bad at their end).
A key point with displaying of items on a screen is the type of panel used in it. Most iMac's these days are IPS...
The CS3 Student version has all the features and the only restriction seems to be the warning that it is not for Commercial use on the paperwork, I have the Academic version of Creative Suite CS3 Pro with extended CS3 Photoshop
There are both student ($199 Adobe rrp) and education ($565 Adobe rrp) versions. The student version is never to be used commercially, but I believe that it is acceptable to buy an upgrade when you wish to do so.
The education version may or may n...

if you ever get up to Mannum i would be happy to show you what i use it for - honest opinion is unless you want to "create" photos - i prefer LR - rarely use CS - too busy to learn it properly - LR does 99% of the adjustments i require.

Hi Marc - Re Lightroom/Photoshop - still pretty new to both (12?months) - light room is great for organising your photos - and very good and quick at image adjustments - cropping, removing dust, changing exposure, sharpening, fixing fill light, clarity, hues ect ect ect - 80+ photos for a real estate agent yesterday - didnt go into CS4 at all - i really only open CS now to add text or if adding a layer is needed -every image goes through LR though
i use a fujifilm f8100 point and shoot it has a macro & super macro setting which i love..............also a very very steady hand......a lot of patience...you dont need expensive cameras to get good results im very happy with my camera
