Learning point – ISO settings

One thing I’ve realised in the time since J and I returned from the land of the free is that I failed to adjust my camera’s ISO setting. I left it set to ISO400 for the entire trip. Partly I think that’s because it didn’t occur to me that I might want to change it, partly because I didn’t realise what a difference it would make, and partly because the old Nikon Coolpix 5400 handled that option for me.So while I was reading astropix.com and Phil Greenspun’s photo.net it dawned on me that I might have missed out a bit. I also had a chat with M a few nights ago where we just talked about photography … and she mentioned ISO setting as well. At which point I mentally kicked myself.I’ll have to chalk that up as a learning point, and remember to pay attention to it in future.
