I am delighted to be a guest photo star in this week's photo games.
Win 1 SBD from each Photo Game Star’s post! - Metadata Monday - Guess the ISO!
Rules for today's Metadata Monday game below.
ABOUT THE PHOTO
Christmas dinner at the Great Hall, University House, Australian National University. The artwork in the Hall is by Australian artist
Leonard William French. The major piece at the centre is Regeneratation, 1972 and the ones on the side are part of The Journey series, 1974.
Celebrating Christmas in summer took a while to get used to!
RULES & HOW TO PLAY
For Metadata Monday we would like you to Guess the ISO of the photo
- The closest guess will win the prize!
- Write your guess in the comments. Only one guess per person, per post.
- No editing your guess - you have to commit!
- All metadata has been stripped from the pictures, so don’t bother looking for the EXIF!
- We are not required to tell you what kind of camera was used, or what time of day the photo was taken at, or whether filters were involved (this adds to the mystery and the challenge!)
- For this game you have 2 days to guess (Wednesday 6PM EST / 11PM UTC)
- If only one person gets the correct (or closest) answer they will win full prize pool
- If multiple people guess correctly (tie for 1st): 60% to first person / 40% divided between the next 5 people

It's the volume on your sensor

Thanks, still not totally sure what it does. I will look it up!

this isn't how it works or really what it is but one of the effects is how GRAINY the image may end up looking. More grainy/noisy the higher that number is.
However cameras are constantly improving so even that is in flux

So what is the trade off? Why can't you just set the ISO to maximum?

You get really noisy grainy pictures if you set to max ISO.
You get really smooth sharp images if you are really low on ISO
However when there's not much light you need more sensativity to light which is what ISO gives you.
I mean these are simplifications of the process but still it should help

Okay, thanks for the info. I think I will hunt down the hand held and toy around with the settings.

@bengy when you are outdoors with enough light the ISO setting should be low, usually under 200. Indoors in low light the ISO is usually higher, 400 plus. That's the general principle. If you have don't have a tripod a high ISO really helps in a low light situation. Play around and you will get the hang of it.

ISO 800 is my guess :-)

I would normally guess ISO 1600 ; but I am going to go with ISO 800 as the lights are very bright up top and the people at the bottom are quite dark and the whole shot could just have been pulled a couple of stops.
