Over the next week I am going to have a LOAD of content about portfolios and marketing going up. So hit subscribe and follow me on instagram to make sure you get all of the information instagram.com/scottchoucino/
Thank you for making ISO into a creative tool and decision for me. I have blindly followed the advice of avoiding noise at all costs and discarding any images - regardless of the content or virtue otherwise - and even abandoning setups which could have been reimagined just by taking this approach. Thank you. More gold 👌
I love your take on this subject. Just like photography, ISO isn't just black and white. It's shades of grey, depending on so many factors and variables.
@@TinHouseStudioUK Yeah the 5Ds needs a ton of light in the scene. I will use it ISO 800-1600 at weddings but in the studio it lives at 100-200 mostly. I agree that photographers get too caught up in it, i mean do your testing and find out the limits sure but don't stress over it. If folks are shooting portrait work and worrying about ISO and other technical crap they are failing as a portrait photographer. Get all that shit down so you can focus on the client/subject.
excellent.....i am a wildlife photographer.....so sharpness matters...but I really loved the explanation and it really made me think about the aesthetic of the photo, not just the speed. I have also shot at 3000+ with very usable images, if thelighting is right, as you point out.
@@benharris3949 yep...im working a lot on this at the moment....and if the lighting is good, and subject etc, with the new full frame cameras I can now push ISO to previously unimaginable levels. Love this video, but had to laugh when he said "noise does not matter".... but he is sooo right about colour compression.
Wild Creatures I guess I’ve always associated noise with loss of tonality but never thought about it in those terms. I’m still shooting an entry level APSC body, so my iso range is equivalent to Scott’s 5Dii here 😂 I’ve learnt there’s just no substituting for good light when you need to capture fine details like fur and feathers. Time for one of those flash magnifiers!
I agree with you with regards to aesthetics and the subjectivity of "noise", but what about stock photography websites like Shutterstock who generally don't tolerate any of it ?

Such a great explanation! I have never thought about the effects on the colour and dynamic range when using ISOs higher than native!
Very useful video for a practical non-technical rundown of ISO and what it does for your photo!
Excellent video. Lots of food for thought.

Thank you Scott. A good discussion with some wonderful examples.
5D2 which is 10 years or so old I would say ISO 800. 5D4 1600-3200, 5Ds/5DsR 400 max. That's what I have found anyway.
I always found 1250 on the mk2 if the light was ok. The 5ds is especially poor at high iso.

One 👍 one 🙏 for Scott’s plants.
Great video and very different to the preconceived ideas I had before watch it, thank you👍

Wild Creatures iso for wildlife does my head in, this video helped me too.

Interesting comment about colour range vs ISO. I am still learning, even though I retired 9 years ago (photo enthusiast).

Nicephore their loss 💁♂️ Stock photography is a mugs’ game these days anyway.
Broncolor with a Godox softbox how cool is that
Really like your content :)
Mikael Kuitunen thanks 😊
... I shoot Live music. I rarely shoot below 3200 on my EOS R.
How are you
Good thanks, how are you?
Hi bro
