PHOTOGRAPHY BASICS in 10 MINUTES
The Pareto Principle is often cited in photography to suggest that
80% of the desired results only require 20% of the effort. However,
becoming a great photographer requires much more than this.
One key factor in photography is the ISO setting. This controls the
sensitivity of the camera’s sensor, with lower numbers indicating less
sensitivity. The higher the ISO setting, the greater potential for grainy
and noisy images. As a result, camera prices can vary significantly
based on the maximum ISO setting they offer. Cheaper cameras may
only go up to 800 or 1600 ISO before producing noticeably noisy
images, while more expensive cameras can often handle 3200, 6400,
and beyond with little impact on image quality.
