ISO in Relation to Noise

[devder1]

i personally battle against my iso on my camera but i would just like to see what your pictures come out like at what ISO's depending on your camera. if you would post:
camera model:
Shutter Speed:
Aperture:
ISO:
and lastly the actual picture


Thanks to everyone who participates

ill start it off

d3000
1/80th
f5.6
ISO 3200

I pretty much stay at ISO400 and below to reduce the noise level. Do you shoot in full manual?

You need to add a ton of light on your tank.
Your ISO is way too high...you will have noise no matter what at that range
You will end up haveing to up the shutter as well to eliminate blur (like the fins moveing and such-or yawn shots ,ETC,ETC)


Anyhow just some basics really...Just add some more light to your tank and drop that iso and see where you need to go from there.


You can also play around with the flash-just have to watch your glare and such.Shoot at angle's to reduce that-should help with the red eyes as well

I'm sure your gonna get tons of responses before long...Just take it all in slowly and adjust slowly.....Keep practing......

guys this is an old picture, i realize that at that iso i am going to get poor results, what i am interested in finding is the difference between using THE SAME ISO ON DIFFERENT MODELS OF CAMERA. for instance, a picture of a fish with 1600 ISO on a d90 and 1600 ISO on a d5000. thanks.

Say what? You can take great photos at high ISO or crappy photos with a low ISO. Unless you do a controlled test where you minimize the variables (lighting, lenses, bodies, photographer skill, subject, etc., etc., etc.) every photo will be different and will not tell you squat about ones performance at a certain ISO versus another camera and lens.

Here's a quick snap from yesterday. I obviously had much more light present than you did (my sb600).

Nikon D60
ISO 100
Shutter speed was 1/200
Aperture f8

ok, basically wondering if i will get the same amount of noise on a nicer model of camera compared to an entry level DSLR
anyway nice picture modest man

ill do one more

d3000
1/160th
f/16.0
ISO 200
(same severum as the first pic)

fyi unless your shooting a high end full frame body, you shouldn't be playing with your ISO if you don't want noise/grain, ISO is the last thing you should touch. if you want better light use a better flash or play with higher aperture and slower shutters.

note to your question above current cams nikon and canon have surrpased 100,000 ISO's, currently no model really keeps it clean over 6400, but after playing in post processing with noise reduction they produce great high ISO shots, this is something entry level cams won't catch up to anytime soon, esp DX consumer entry levels.

i realize that, but there are situations when i really need a high iso, for instance the other night taking pictures of stars, needed a ton of light just to get them to show up
and thanks you, the last part of what you said is exactly what im looking to see

just realized i never responded to this sorry, i too try to stay at 400, 800 and my pix are junk, i only shoot in full manual
