I'll just add that high ISO can be used effectively in certain situations or with certain subjects. There's no harm in experimenting, but best not to if you plan to share the photos online or with anyone.
Do you manually expose your shots? Maybe he was using Tv mode and the camera selected a higher iso.
Yes, I manually expose my shots. Even if he was using TV mode, you can still see the exposure meter through the view finder. It's there for a reason, and it's a really bad habit to ignore it.Originally Posted by danjama
I love kids. They're short, highly emotional people who don't know anything. They rely on their creativity and imagination to get by in the world. A world, I might add, filled with giants. Amazing feat.
It was in manual mode, Tv also doesn't change your ISO in my camera at least.
This photo was at ISO1250, I was still learning so there's nothing wrong with fucking it up. Difference is I'd been shooting for about 10 months, Zim is doing it at university.
In theory this should be a full time commitment being a student of this craft..you'd expect to have nailed the Aperture, shutter, ISO balance within the first month or so. It doesn't matter to as much of an extent if you get the result you want with bad settings but when it's obvious you've tried to poorly create a result in post that you could have in-camera had you known the fundamentals of photography and consistently repeated those same mistakes then it's fine to call it out.
You don't take bad photos Zim you're just "tone deaf", they're these ugly muddy tones...you take pictures of bitches in San Fran holding balloons on fire escapes and doing other random shit so the whole point is to compliment their appearance. Your photoshop work does the opposite and masks any qualities your shot do have. There's nothing wrong with experimenting, the last bulk of work I did my lighting technique was refined by taking a photo of a shoe on my bedroom floor and a palm leaf in my garden...I spent all of last night taking awful looking photos of a coke bottle to see what would happen when I applied different gels to my light under certain settings...this stuff will never see the light of day but when I have a subject worth the be-fag photo thread or my portfolio I make sure that isn't the time Im making mistakes or experimenting toooo much.
With that said can we please now bury the Zim intervention, I come in here once a week or so to see some sweet photography by fruitbooters not Vince and Dave schooling Zimothy on photos of his new girlfriend....it's like the VG Rootz of this sub-forum.

These new cameras can do it breh. You can also set auto iso, but up to a specified amount. Useful in some situations, just gotta know what the hell you are doing.
I didn't know what I was doing when taking this photo, I don't know how it came out OK
ISO 200, f/3.5, 1/800 on a D40 & kit lens with very little editing.

leave the clarity slider alone
Zim when you get here bring your camera. I'll give you a quick schooling on exposure and make sure you fucking leave New York completely understanding this shit. Don't give up because you've been doing better since your very first images. You're subjects got more interesting but composition and exposure leave a lot to be desired. We'll hang, get some beers, and skate if you actually skate... do you skate?
Maybe I'll bring you into my studio but kinda hate going to work when I'm not working.
Awesome shot of the mailboxes nb. Good tones.
wuckin it.
everone i know tells me my shots look like film stills i think i will just start studying cinmnatrogrphy
If you shot film your shots would all be under exposed/completely black. Take no offense but judging from nb's research this would be fact.
Don't go into cinematography if you couldn't do photo... that doesn't even make sense. You wanna do good for your photography? Take a painting class.
wuckin it.
we better be smoking mad herb dave

ledge roll to bs farv safety to fakie
How did you create that effect?
looks like a fisheye+ shutter speed about 1/30
take a pic with flashes and then spin the camera around
I was putting off posting anything on here, because be-mag has its fair share of cunts. But fuck it, here's a few of mine that I've been happy with.
