ISO Comparison

Today in Borough Market, I snapped two pictures of "The Market Porter". In the first photo, I set the my Nikon camera to an ISO of 400. For the second photo, I set the ISO to the highest it could go, which is 3,200. The two photos are pictured below.

In the zoomed-in photos below, you can tell the difference the ISO settings have, especially if you focus on the area around the text, "BAR MEALS". To the left of the text, in Photo B, there are many pixels. However, if you compare that same area in Photo A, you will notice that Photo A is much more precise and sharp. To the right of the text, the word "Available" is nearly invisible in Photo B, yet much more legible and smooth in Photo A. Through these photos it is clear that the ISO setting on your camera is very important when taking pictures in order to get the best possible shot. In this case, the 400 ISO worked much better than the 3,200 ISO.
