    You adjust your shutter speed by how fast your subject is moving. I adjust it by how much caffeine I slammed before the shoot. We are not the same.

      My shutter speeds get faster the longer a shoot goes and my muscles get fatigued. Don’t have RSI, kids.

      Or use a fuckin’ monopod like someone that isn’t an idiot.

      And background focus is based on the ratio of distances between the camera and the foreground object and the background and the foreground object. The fstop values are meaningless without knowing that information.

        For the same foreground/background the fstop is the ONLY factor in changing the depth of field.

      I’d argue for a newbie this is very useful to explain the difference between the settings. It took me forever to figure these out with trial and error back in the 90’s

      If you have a better guide, please share.

      ISO is directly related to noise, there is a reason astro guys shoot for 2 hours at iso800 instead of 5 seconds at iso64000.

    Calling low grain higher quality is like throwing a tool out because you don’t know what it’s for.

      Can you explain the difference then? I turn up ISO when I have to for low-light, but agree with the guide that the grain looks worse. I understand you may want stylistic grain, but I generally want clear photos and grain isn’t that.

    In this day-and-age of phone cameras and point-and-shoots, I can’t think of a single photographer that could actually control these setting who would need this graphic.
