Parting Thoughts for Saturday...
Photography is a unique blend of subject, composition, lighting and technical knowledge. Mastering these techniques takes time, persistence and willingness to take a bunch of bad shots. But it through the trial and error process and the help of others we learn and begin to master our art.
For me, low light and night shots were my nemesis, especially, taking shots "on the fly" without the aid of a tripod. While this technique will not work on point-and-shoot cameras, it will work on most dSLR's.
ISO settings are how the camera film or sensor reacts to light. The lower the light, the higher the sensor or the longer the exposure. You can shorten the exposure time by "bumping" up your ISO.
In the picture below, I used the Aperture control setting, increased the ISO to 2500 and opened the lens aperture to maximum (3.5). The result was a photo that encompassed the ambiance of the setting and free of the effects often encountered by the use of flash.
This same technique can be used in indoor shots of listings or other low light settings. Don't be afraid to experiment. That is the only way you can learn...
