I think that there are a lot of misconceptions online about noise and ISO
and I think a lot of people, not even just beginners
but all sorts of photographers and videographers are being really held back
by being terrified of cranking their ISO up when they need to
Let me explain
When I was first learning digital photography after years of just shooting film
I went out for a long day of street photography
and as it got darker and darker and my ISO kept going up and up
I kept getting more and more stressed out about it
Eventually when it hit about 3200, I went home for the day
I thought, that's it, I've run out of light
Oh well, fast forward to now when I've had a lot more experience with digital
I almost forget that ISO used to be a constraint
I regularly crank that dial right up to 12800 and beyond
It's not just a flex, it's massively creatively freeing
It can let you achieve so much more with your camera
and your vision
But if you're shooting at ISOs that high
surely your images must be deep fried in grain and noise, right?
Well, not quite
Let me explain and show you what I mean
ISOPHOBIA is the fear of having low image quality due to high ISO usage
It's known to affect photographers of all skill levels
ISOPHOBIA is easily treatable but if ignored
could develop into 3D pop psychosis
ORANGE AND TEAL DISORDER
OR LICAISM
No, but seriously, so many photographers
even working professionals are extremely worried
about the noise that using a high ISO can create
The funny thing is, they're wrong
And so was I
I'm just gonna butt in here for a second
You should probably subscribe to this channel
if you're into this sort of thing
If you grab your camera and pop outside after lunch to do some tests
you'll learn two really key things
Number one being the actual difference in your image quality
between like ISO 100 and ISO 800 is zero
Even up to like ISO 1600
there's barely a difference unless you're really looking for it
And it's not like anybody else is going to look at your photos
like they're searching for Waldo
I dare you to stick those photos on your phone and spot the difference
The other thing you'll learn is that
even cranked up to something like 12,800
there's not that much noise
Sure, there's some
but it's not a complete write-off
it's not like there's a chunk of uranium in front of the camera
Okay, you're saying that's fine
but 12,800 does look worse than 100 or 400
so lower is better, right?
Yeah
Wait, no, sorry, my bad
No, I'll explain
But first, let me show you what I mean
I'll show you some footage from the Sony FX30
which is a crop sensor camera
with a base ISO of 800 and 2500
See if you can guess what ISO I used for these shots
while I fill you in on today's video sponsor, Zhiyun
It really feels like the team at Zhiyun really think outside the box
about how to make the best possible gear for creators
This is the MOLLES G300 light
and yeah, it's 300 watts
To have that much light in a lunchbox-sized fixture
is not only awesome for traveling
it's perfect for solo creators
who don't have a whole van full of grip equipment
Look, I will be honest
I don't like using gimbals
They're heavy, I hate balancing them
I could go on
but I won't because the Zhiyun Crane 4
kind of fixed it for me
It's got lights that tell you when it's balanced
and a light for the camera
and it's got a wrist rest and an extra handle
so it's way nicer to carry all day
and use for those longer shots
Basically, the stuff that Zhiyun makes
is genuinely stuff I use every day
That's not just ad speak
That's true and I'm super grateful
to have a relationship with them
If you need lights or a gimbal
I can't recommend them enough
There are links below
All of that footage, apart from my talking head
was shot at ISO 12800, by the way
Photography is all about trade-offs
It's a big balancing act
We can control our shutter speed
our aperture and our ISO
We can't control how much light there is outside
and so unless there's loads of it
something has to give
If your shutter is too slow
you get motion blur
If your lens is wide open at f1.2 or f1.4
have fun with the 2 inches of stuff in focus you get
The ISO is nice and high
you get some noise
But if you stop and think about that for a second
which of those three
has the smallest impact on the end result
Like out of those three options
for dealing with insufficient light
Which one compromises our vision
for the photo we wanted the least
ISO, right?
I mean, I'd much rather have a photo
that's a little noisier than usual
than a photo where you can't even see
the subject's face because they're blurry
When I'm shooting street photography
it's really important to me
that I have a fast enough shutter speed
to freeze motion
and as much depth of field
that's stuff that's in focus
as I can get
And so I let the ISO go as high as it needs to go
to get enough exposure
And worst case scenario
even high ISO shots
that are kind of underexposed
are so easy to fix in post
it almost feels like cheating
Is it cheating?
And remember most of the time
you're not going to need ISO 12800
Most of the time when I shoot
night street photography
outside in the dark
I stick to around ISO 3200
Your camera's light meter
might disagree with me
But that's because it's wrong
No, really, it is wrong
Your camera doesn't know
it's meant to be dark
So it's trying to make the night time
look as bright as daytime
So generally speaking
when I shoot at night
Auto ISO comes off
Manual it is
Remember how at the start of the video
I talked about how I used to only shoot film
Well, I used to shoot a lot of
Tri-X and HP5
pushed to 3200
because I really liked the gritty
grainy, contrasty look it gave me
So why do we avoid digital noise
like it's going to instantly end our careers
I admit it's not as pleasing as film grain
But I also think that photos
with no texture to them at all
Kind of look a bit wrong
And I often add grain to my photos
Especially for dark moody shots
Having noise feels like it fits aesthetically
ISO isn't a technical constraint
It's a creative tool
And we should start using it like one
And most importantly of all
Even if you have a tiny sensor
From 20 years ago
And ISO 1600 looks grainy enough
To kill somebody with a gluten allergy
It won't matter if your photo
Is telling a great story
Making stuff technically perfect
Doesn't matter
And people have been making great art
On cameras far worse than yours
For many years
So relax about ISO
You don't worry about the grain or the noise
Focus on the story
And you'll be surprised
How much you can learn
One thing that's way easier
When you're not worrying about your ISO
Is zone focusing
Since you can stop down more
If you'd like to learn how
You can literally be faster than autofocus
You can watch this video
Where I explain it in a really simple and easy way
Stay hydrated and create art
