Default The Rose Theatre

This is a somewhat new theatre we got here in Brampton, Ontario. The lights and fountain surrounding the front of the building can get some good picture results.

Did you use a tripod? This is a great shot fo being handheld, if you used a tripod, you need to bump the iso up and close the aperture a little

Yes, I did use a tripod.
Just wondering, what does the ISO do? I've been told so many different things it's ridiculous.
Also, "closing" the aperture would mean turning it down?

The ISO value is a rating of the camera sensor's ability to pick up light. In film cameras it means the same thing, but it is the film's ability to pick up light, or its sensitivity.

The higher the number, the faster the ability. example - if you take a perfectly exposed shot at ISO 400, f4.0 1/400 shutter, and then took a second shot under the same lighting conditions and same settings except for ISO 800, your shot will be overexposed because your sensor caught the light faster on the revised settings.

The trade off is image quality. The higher you go, the noiser the picture gets (grainy) especially if you're cropping in tight on a subject. Top model pro cameras minimize this effect, but on most consumer models, the noise is easy enough to see, especially under low light and/ or long focal lengths.

"ISO" itself stands for International Organization for Standardization. There are a number of different standards written over the years to provide a the guiding value on film speed and now DSLRs. There is a lot of math and science behind it. I suggest you ask Mr. Google or wikipedia if you want to go deeper to understand the science behind it.
