The term ‘ISO’ stands for ‘International Organisation for Standardization.
ISO can be adjusted to change how sensitive the camera is to light.
If the ISO number is low, for example 100, it is less sensitive to the light.
A low ISO number would be used in an area with lots of light.
If the ISO number is high, for example 1600 then it is more sensitive to the light.
This would be used in an area with not much light.
A higher ISO number causes more noise in the photograph and so reduces the quality of it.
Below is my contact sheet of pictures taken of paper and other objects that can be easily shaped and manipulated.
A ISO number of 800 was used on the darker images to create a more dramatic photograph and an ISO number of 1600 was used on the brighter images to balance out the shoo
t and show the difference that the ISO number makes.
