THE THREE PILLARS: ISO

This final pillar of photography incorporates various settings and is often also available on your phone. However, on professional cameras their roles are much advanced and their settings much developed.
 
ISO is basically a measurement of your camera’s sensitivity to light. Hence, it is the amount of light needed by the camera in order to maintain the right exposure, giving the different lighting conditions. I have learnt that the ISO settings help the camera to adapt ideally to the conditions in order to produce high quality images.
 
To explain this feature better and make it more easy for you to comprehend, I have used photographs from the website www.startlearningphotography.com to describe the different phenomenon's.

 
There are ever present grains in photographs and low ISO's help in drastically eliminating these grains. I have found that in places where the light is dim and using the flash is prohibited, the ISO settings play a pivotal part in reducing grains and increasing the quality of the photograph. However, do note that the photographs  portrayed on the camera display and viewfinder are strikingly different from the photographs captured and viewed on larger displays.
 
Now, that you have been introduced to the basics, I will share with you my photographs in my upcoming posts. :D
