Like i said before Raising ISO Above the lowest Setting is Degrading

[Ysarex85 79]

shot at 1/8 sec?!

Oh dear, it keeps getting worse: I degraded myself with a tripod too.

Joe

next time I want to see you shoot this at ISO100 and SS of 8 full seconds -- hand held of course -- Like a professional.

Raising ISO Above the lowest Setting is Degrading ... not to me, I'm a Democrat, you can't degrade me.

 

[tirediron]

Someone learned something new an just had to come yell at us about it.

Good for you. We already know how ISO works, and no you can't always shoot at base ISO outside of a controlled environment.

or even in it....

ISO 6400

I did it and I feel so degraded now. I'm ashamed of myself and I deserve to be punished.

Joe

Now I want Smarties.

Increasing the ISO is gaining more light.

Nope. Not a single photon of more light is gained by increasing the ISO.
Increasing the ISO only electronically amplifies the electrical voltage the light that fell on the pixels caused to be developed.

I like to shoot indoor basketball at the shutter speed and lens aperture indicated by an exposure meter reading based on ISO 100. Yeah...I get 95% blurry action shots. But hey, I can hold my head up high, knowing that I shot everything at Base ISO's suggested exposure settings.

[ insert sarcasm emoji here > . < ]

By the way, the OP does not take into account ISO invariant sensors. Nor does it take into acount the way we've actually learned to shoot with modern cameras with state of the art sensors. The now-outdated (for Nikon,Sony,Pentax,Hasselblad, and some Fuji shooters at least) "base ISO only" and "ETTR" or Expose To The Right practices no longer apply for many of us.

But the IQ is perfect, no image degradation. (Okay, the images look like squat, but blurry images is little to give up for maximum IQ.)

Did you misplace your sarcasm emojii as well, Gary?

I'd rather have NECCO wafers.

No sarcasm implied ...

They're okay, too. Not fond of the licorice flavored ones, though. I just like Smarties better.

I judge a travel day by the amount of Runts consumed. When the mouth starts to get sore from the citric acid added I call it a day

I do the same with salt and vinegar potato chips! When my lips go numb I’ve reached my limit

not sure about you but the quality of my images stands..and isn't so easily degraded by a little bit of digital noise.
My GF has delivered images shot at ISO 6400 much to the delight of her clients who aren't going to use it larger than Web or Instagram...and shooting at higher ISO allows her to capture the logos sharply.
If a client comes back and says "wow...i really like your usage of low ISO" I would immediately give up photography as there is obviously no other merit to my images.

Aha! Similar to the ancient mariners of Greece. Gary suspects you have eyes painted onto your vehicles as well.
