Exposed: The memory card and ISO affair

Hello,

I hope you can help me I am wondering about the relation between ISO and file size… I have noticed that when I set my camera to a higher ISO I can fit less pictures on it can you explain why ?

Good question Micheal, I will do my best to explain it and I am sure that others will also include their thoughts and input here so you should get a pretty complete answer.

Since you have noticed that higher ISO will generally give you larger files, I think that you might have also observed that a picture file size will vary even at a fixed ISO.

Minimalism: because complexity sucks !

I am a big fan of minimalist compositions ! I like the simplicity it just relaxes my eyes but what are the “must have” ingredients of minimalism ?

THE MAIN SUBJECT

In a minimalist composition the main subject, or focal point, of the picture usually takes just a little portion of the frame answering the rule of third with a lot of open or empty space around .
This will give the eye room to relax , wander freely around the frame and then “rest” on the focal point. Make sure to remove all unneeded objects and clutters from your shot.

Going with the grain

I love those grainy, gritty, dirty, fuzzy, noisy photos — you know the kind. Technically they may have their flaws, but artistically they’re inspirational. To me, grain or noise can add a lot of impact to a photo and change the mood quite rapidly.
