This time of the year it’s daylight many hours of the day in Sweden. I took this images after 9.30 pm yesterday whit my OM1 and my 60 mm macro lens at f 2.8, 1/60 sec at ISO 1600 in the first two images and f2,8 1/125 sec at ISO 6400 in the third image. Even if it’s daylight in the evening you have to rise the ISO in some situations. I love to photograph macro and close up especially when it comes to flowers and insects of different kinds.

What are Stops of light?

Lets start a discussion? What are stops of light, how do they influence your image? Does ISO have anything to do with light? [ I'm sorry I confused many. The question should had been "If you lock your Aperture and Shutter Speed, and then change your ISO from 100 to 1600... did your camera sensor actually collect any more light?" or "Does ISO have anything to do with the light captured by the sensor?"] Please use the reply, comments.

@Larry Kurfis well good luck dialing in a correct exposure without adjusting ISO in darker situations. You don’t seems to want to understand what I’m saying, what was the purpose of the question? To get people to understand exposure and how to use this parameters in the best way to be able to photograph or to confuse everyone who tries to understand the important aspects of exposure. Even if ISO doesn’t let more or less fotons in to the sensor as shutter speed and aperture does you can’t cut ISO out of the equation when you set your camera up for photography. It’s as simple as that, and a you don’t need to complicate it more than that. I know exactly what you or chat gpt are talking about. If you adjust one of this tree parameters one stop you need to adjust one of the other parameters (S, A or ISO) one stop to get the same exposure, except if you use a one stop strong ND filter to adjust the amount of light allowed in to the sensor.

Practical Photography Instruction

I won't say I have wasted a lot of time watching YouTube, reading books, articles ... to learn photography. I usually gained for each. I have watched some of Joe Edelman's YouTube videos and a few Camera Club in person presentations. I have found his no nonsense presentations inspiring. No do this shortcuts to be a better photographer. I encourage you to check him out. Joe Edelman "For Photographers" section. Your thoughts?

@Larry Kurfis Lightroom auto is really good most of the time. I use it a lot and then do some minor adjustments if needed.
