September 18th, 2009

Part of the fun for me on this blog is experimenting with getting the shot - this forces me to rethink certain philosophies I have grown accustomed to when shooting. In this instance, I am rethinking the benefit of shooting with a higher ISO. Before, I never liked raising my ISO beyond 100 . . . you just get sharper images and better prints. But if we're going for an artsy look, then a high ISO is a great thing! This shot, all sharp and free of noise would have just looked OK . . . the texture in the grain is what makes this image for me . . . 

Captured with the Nikon 50mm prime with ambient light source. 30th of a second at f1.8 with an ISO of 640.
