Part 4 Exercise 2 ISO settings

For this exercise I was required to shoot several scenes with a normal or lower ISO then a high ISO setting and to note the differences in quality and presentation.

I chose to use my 35mm fixed lens throughout.  I picked scenes in marginal light conditions.

ISO 125

ISO 1250

 THis first scene does not appear greatly different as the light was pretty good.  It is only when magnified that you can see the graining on the second shot.

ISO 140

ISO 1250

 This is similar to the first shot in that that there is little difference between the shots.  The detail is probably greater on the first picture.

ISO 100

ISO 1250

 This shot taken in the kitchen shows that at ISO 100 the whole shot is blurred as the light is not good enough.  THe second shot at the higher ISO shows much clearer detail.

ISO 250

ISO 1600

 The difference between these two wine rack shots shows much more detail and clarity in the second shot.

ISO 100

ISO 1250

ISO 500

ISO 4000

ISO 100

ISO 4500

The last shot in the exercise was taken in a very low light situation and the difference is marked.  The high ISO shot is sharper but there is graining clearly visible.
