What are your most used photo settings?

[jw001]

Ever wonder what settings you use the most? Ran across this link that breaks down how you shoot. Hope you haven't had a simular post before.
thanks

Very interesting Jeff! Thanks for the link.

I can tell you right now what my most used settings are - ISO 3200, f/2.8, and 1/640th.

[mivy00]

It says most used are 50mm f2.8 1/60 at ISO 400

When I get home tonight ill run it on my large database of 10,000 images
Thanks for the link cool program

I don't think I'd need it to tell me that I shoot mostly 85mm, f/4.5, and ISO 50

But with a recent glass purchase, I imagine that will change some.

Oh, I see you are a portrait photographer.

[Daniel Bates]

Yep, I do a lot of studio fashion and glamour work. It's a hard life...

I can tell you that I shoot mostly at ISO 100, 200, 1600, and 3200. Tv varies, but Av is usually between f/1.4 and f/8.

Jeff, thanks for the cool link but when I ran the program on my photo files it crunched for a while then just started laughing at me.

The one setting I use constantly is "ON." Other than that, I think they are all over the board in terms of aperture, ISO, etc. I'm a big fan of shallow DoF, so I lean more to as open as possible.

On is always a good one...

Brad why ISO 50? I actually heard that ISO 50 decreases dynamic range on the Canon bodies...
Of course, that is just from hearsay.. but I have read it more than once..

Just curious.

Not that I have noticed... but then how much dynamic range do you really encounter with portraits? LOL

I have another question - how do you get to ISO 50? I thought mine started at 100 on both my bodies.

On the 5D it's the same custom functions to get iso3200.

But I've heard it's better to shoot at the native iso100. But I do use iso50 when I shoot wide open in the afternoon.

Hmmm, guess I shoulda read the book more carefully! Thanks Jakestir.
