Sometimes I accidently take cool pictures

[Inchworm]

I wish I understood why lol. I just switch every setting often and take 10 shots of the same thing to check em out. Here is a perfect example. It was a BRIGHT cloudy day, and this picture came out somehow :P

I think it is cool still though

1. It looks ominous...

I agree it's a cool shot.

2. That is cool

I'd say fast shutter speed and small aperture, large F-stop, but who knows?

3. I thought that too but was wondering

Well except the F-stop - I'm still wondering what that actually does.

Does ISO have anything to do with lighting? I always just thought of it as "film speed."

:dunce:

4. With film, ISO is "film speed" but that actually refers to how the film

is affected by the quick shutter speed and thus less light. I never shot film, but I would suspect that the higher the film iso, the more sensitive it was to light given that it was most often used to catch action/movement. Somebody correct me, if I am wrong.

With today's digital sensors, it refers to how sensitive the sensor is to light. The higher the ISO, the more sensitive to light it becomes; however, with a higher ISO comes more noise in the picture so it is game of trade-offs.
