Do you always shoot in ISO 100?

s.o.s.

I am more interested in understanding the benefits of shooting higher iso on purpose for effects and color. same with over exposing for effects and color.

I've been bleeding from my lower lip trying to avoid commenting. Ive never heard of anything quite as obsurd. Let's just say I'm not quite ready to super glue my ISO dial at 100.
Let's go back to discussing which camera I should buy. I need an adrenaline rush. Sorry, Sarcasm isn't usually my M.O. but really..Shoot only at 100?

it isn't realistic. it isn't even shooting. Depends on what you are shooting and when. I tend to let iso float to get a idea of where it will run ahead of time. And just moving around the same scene from different light levels it can change quite dramatically. if it starts getting to high I lower the shutter speed. if I get too low on shutter I lock down the iso and start thinking of a place to set the camera down for a longer exposure. I am starting to worry more about higher iso now, just because I don't like cleaning up the noise level in post and I don't always want that much noise in the photo. Also higher iso really frigs with how crisp a photo is and how clean it is. sometimes a cool effect often not wanted. so I float the iso with a limiter (depending on what I am shooting 1200,3200,4000 etc. and if it comes down to it will just lock it in once I get a idea of where it is running. Occasionally I will preplan the photo being dark, lower iso but already have the ss as low as I dare to go and have a idea what I can bring back in post from shadow. I try not to count on post though it is really a hack way of shooting..

I hate to bring this up too. But some people choose to shoot full manual without considering the camera can still give you info so you are taking less "test" shots. I don't often shoot auto but will flip to auto iso or put it in auto just to see where the camera is running to give myself a little more clarity in what I am looking at. Then I flip back to manual and make my adjustments. I don't know if there is a right way or wrong way to do this but whatever info the camera is willing to give me I take. If in auto iso I am in the 2k range on a 250 shutter I know I can drop down to the 1k and under range on a 100 shutter. if I have my iso limit around 1200 and see the camera drop the ss down to some crazy low level that will cause camera blur I need to reevaluate my need for where I set my aperture or consider another alternative. so I use the modes more as a guide and will often flip over to one to get a idea of where i am at even if I shoot manual. Just what I do, there is no right or wrong I would guess.

Because nothing says Christmas quite like a Holy War.

for me at least, I got time to kill anyway. just sitting here going through photos of a puppet show my youngest kids did. They seem into the puppet thing now. Then I get to move on to going through Christmas pics. Never ends.
