When I discover it I say shucks but it does seem to affect the results. ....now Wb is a different story Love this story as I do the same thing being much more involved with creating than camera settings.

Sometimes capturing the moment takes priority over fiddling with the ISO setting. Good article. Distracted and forget to swap ISO…never. :-)

I don't believe they come away noting what ISO was used above all else. With excellent photos, the subject and composition are what the majority of people notice.

Your ISO is like 2500 or more (sorry I'm at work and don't have your book with me (shhhh!!)) and your shutter speed is around 4K with an aperture of 2 or something... In the previous text you talk about shooting in a mosque and then stubling upon this image of a grinning girl just outside. It's a wonderful moment and great capture you would have missed if you were dropping your ISO. Frankly the high shutter probably also contributed to the wonderful sharp exposure. Thanks to that, I've given up on killing myself to keep the ISO as low as possible, and have more selects for it! Wonderful explanation to an image I love from WTF.

I've used ISO6400 on the 5DII shooting live music and it's perfectly sufficient for magazine usage. As long as the final image satisfies me, I don’t much care what settings I use.

I’m glad for camera manufacturers to somehow realize they should put in auto-ISO functions and let you set you minimum shutter speed – absolute only time I turn it off is when I’m on a tripod or using studio strobes.

And yeah, life is good because it is relatively short =]

I set one with a certain ISO (or autofocus point which is far worse), switch bodies and then come back and take an off shot. Ahhh, solidarity in numbers.
