The Truth about Digital ISO

"ISO is the sensitivity of the image sensor."
"Increasing ISO directly increases noise."
"ISO is part of the exposure triangle."
"ISO controls the amount of light the camera collects."

Chances are, you've heard these statements at least once, and while it may come as a shock, all of these postulates are completely false. ISO in digital photography is completely different than film ISO, and thus, it's important photographers learn what ISO truly is so they can make more informed decisions. In this video I cover the truth about ISO and dispell some very common and prevalent myths that have confused people for decades. Photography is as much of a science as it is an art, and knowing how your camera operates and how light and signal work to create a photo is a fundamental understanding that will truly improve your work in so many ways.

I explain ISO more in-depth on my newly-created website, http://www.apalapse.org. Read the article here:
