Why are my photos noisy - discussion

The guy DonB on dpreview operated the same way as you but he made the mistake of leaving his contact name in the exif of one of his posted images.

If you mean in the exif data then yes. I use Exiftool to edit the exif when needed.

well Bob added the field "iso" If members here dont set there camera iso or refer to it then "why"

Also, it shows camera model, ISO, and focal length.

I have no reason to believe that is true.

ISO is set on every shot by everyone either manually or automatically by the camera.

Touché 👍

that's as bad as people signing there photos "Amazing Photography" on Facebook or anywhere actually.
The guy Don B was a member of DPR from 2003. before i even owned a digital camera, i was shooting film. so i dont see any relevance only to make trouble.

I'm just making the observation that you and he operate very similarly.

I know you have said you were never DonB and I am not saying you are, so you have nothing to worry about DonB having been proved a liar online elsewhere.

my bad, so everyone wants to see what iso value is now as its an important measurement. sorry for the missunderstanding

That came out with EXIF about 4 days ago Don. It was in a gallery update. Not there one day and there the next.

i posted 2 images today .they both showed data. 5 mins later they didnt and still dont. but i posted a screen grab when they were showing the data. those images are in this thread.

Is it possible to design a camera without an ISO dial?
Given you can increase exposure, would you increase ISO setting instead?

"exposure value" is how we communicate our photography to one and another, "exposure" is meaning less without iso /film speed. iso is and will always be part of "exposure value"

back to your question. there will always be a need to adjust iso/gain. EV of a scene is dependant on what the photographer wants his image to look like. there will always be 3 controlling factors.

like a car we will always need a steering system. brakes and throttle.
