thank you very much , ISO has always been a bit of a confusing subject for me, even when shooting in a studio, i would tend to avoid the ISO even if i had it too high, which was making my work too grainy. does anybody know what the best ISO and shutter speed would be for a nice studio shoot, im looking for a natural style image, but i still want it to look very professional. (something warm, not too brightly lit etc)
You probably know this Langley2005, but on the D50 you don’t have to ALSO hold down the exposure compensation when changing the iso. you can just hold down the iso button on the back then turn the rear rotation dial.
Don’t be discouraged by the D50 being “old” I have one too and though I’m upgrading to a D90 I don’t expect the overall results to be incredibly superior (if you have good lenses). Mainly more pro cameras just make it easier to make good pictures, but don’t really make the end result that much superior. Remember… a person who knows what they are doing can do amazing things with a point and shoot whereas a person who has no idea wouldn’t be able to get anywhere with a D3!
This was very helpful. I also use a Nikon D50. I know, I know, it’s old but I have so much to learn that I’m sure I wont want a newer camera for a while. And I’m loving it anyway.
Good work, Im a newb, and you actually taught me shutter speed, appature rate and iso – been reading for hours without it being shown/describes so very well. No school like the old skewl eh langley – indeed udaman!
