Backyard shooting.

[tom5191]

Had a few rabbits eating in the backyard, so I experimented with different settings.

Exposure:1/160
Aperture:F/5.6
ISO:200

Exposure:1/50
Aperture:F/10
ISO:100

Exposure:1/250
Aperture:F/5.6
ISO:100

Exposure:1/50
Aperture:F/5.6
ISO:100

When I was taking pictures of the rabbits I heard a plane coming. This was my first attempt at anything moving.
Exposure:1/320
Aperture:F/5.6
ISO:100

I don't think it turned out to bad.

Why do people use ISO 100? lol

Get closer shots to show more detail. Assuming you have a zoom lens. If not, crop all that grass out a bit.

That was with my 80-200mm lens at 200mm. You can't get much closer to the rabbits here without them freaking out and running.

So, imagine what serious bird photographers use, if that is the subject scale a 200 mm lens at 200 mm was giving you for a rabbit.

Nikon 600mm f/4.0G ED VR II AF-S SWM Super Telephoto Lens for Nikon FX and DX Format Digital SLR

To reduce noise. He still had ok shutter speeds most of the time to use ISO100.

Assuming he already was zoomed, hence the nothing less than F5.6

Yeah, I don't have $10,300 just laying around for a lens. I'm a broke college student.

To minimize image noise, and make the image sensor less sensitive to bright sunlight, to name just a couple of valid reasons. :er:

What ISO do you prefer to use?

I would use ISO 100 most of the time if ISo 100, and not ISO 200, was the native ISO I had available for use with my Nikon CMOS image sensors.

It actually is but you do have to repay them (dur).

I am just doing a DVD course very basic more about teaching settings this guy is a well known photographer down under in one of his lessons he was taking early morning photos of the beach he said he wanted moving water so he used ISO 100 f22 he said f32 if your camera has it

That's why it's not that easy. Hence the broke student part.
