Shutter Speed: 1/200 second
Aperture: f5.6
ISO: 1250
More often than not, the lighting conditions aren’t great when we want to take a picture. This shot at the Toronto zoo was taken in a very low light situation. I didn’t want to use flash and risk getting reflections off the window and didn’t have a tripod, so I moved my ISO (film speed) up to 1250. The resulting picture was a bit noisy so I cleaned it up later using software called Noise Ninja. Most modern digital cameras offer ISO choices that can make a big difference in low light situations. Because high ISO’s result in digital noise (fuzziness) the rule of thumb is to shoot with the lowest ISO you can get away with.
