Thursday, 21st October 2010 - Photo #294

I absolutely love Buddhas (think you've probably guessed that by now though), here is one that is in the back room and is one of a set of three plaques of faces. The reason I took this is to practice getting the ISO setting right, ISO allows photos to be taken in dark places without the glare of flash and avoid too long shutter speeds. Having a long shutter speed obviously means that the camera can shake and the picture be blurred so turning the ISO up higher is a really useful trick when you want to avoid flash.

This is taken with 500 ISO and although I still wobbled very slightly, this one is quite sharp. Another little part of photography know-how learned, loads more to go! Oh well, keep practising Carol.
