Hi Dave - Yes, trying to get the depth of field you want when things are moving is a real challenge - it's an exercise in compromises - like going to higher f stops, like f16 knowing that diffraction is kicking in - but better than blurry branches.
You mention that you have determined for your sensor that going above ISO 500 is to be avoided, if possible. As an engineer, I know you know these are dual gain sensors, with the second gain range kicking in at ISO 400, and you are most likely familiar with the web site photonstophotos. If I understand the data there, with the Sony-made 45mp Z sensor, you should be able to push.your ISO to 800 and pretty much match the Read Noise of ISO 318. So why the ISO 500 limit? Am I misinterpreting those graphs?
Thanks - and Happy Holidays!

Great question. Nothing can escape entropy, the second law of thermodynamics & the flow of energy over time, including software:) Easiest way to see without understanding thermo or physics: I tested it in the field & then overlaid both images at 500 & 800 to see the image quality. The 800 ISO drops significantly in image quality especially when underexposed. Other reason I know, which depends on thermo & entropy. Image quality & dynamic range all comes down to the amount of electrons captured off the sensor, when photons collide with it. Software can't create more signal (order), without also applying that gain to the underlying noise(disorder). (Signal to Noise Ratio) Only way to increase the signal without increasing the noise is to increase the shutter speed or open the aperture, allowing more photons to hit the sensor. The only reason you really care about ISO on camera is so you can see the image on the back of the screen. The only two values that really matter are shutter speed & f-stop. They collect the light energy from the scene. As you increase the light energy captured from the scene, the entropy in the image file decreases thus reducing the noise (disorder). That being said, software has come a long long way in being able to increase your perception of less entropy in the file. The physical value is unchanged though. Here's my article on ISO: www.davemorrowphotography.com/iso-photography You may also enjoy this article: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Entropy_(information_theory) & en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Information_theory Thanks for the question. I love this kinda stuff:)
@@DaveMorrow Dave:
Thanks for taking the time to reply. to my post during this busy holiday season.
I am not sure I agree with everything above, however, one thing is certain. One should always "do the experiment". That is, do tests with one's own equipment and not rely on others' data - as you described above with you ISO tests. It is the best way of really knowing the limits and "sweet spots" of one's gear for optimal results.
As an experimental scientist, I confess at being remiss in doing this myself. (shame on me!). Thanks to your video, I will now make a point of doing this in the near future!
Thanks and Happy Holidays!

Very good example of making a photo instead of taking a photo. I was enjoy your how to’s
Landscape Composition
wow. i am learning so much by watching you create both in the field and in the digital darkroom. Thank You!
Hey Dave, subscribed to your photography course over 2 years ago - still go back to remind myself of the editing techniques. Best investment I ever made, always forget something over the months and so each lesson acts as a great refresher.having the set up tutorial was invaluable, especially when I had to reset photoshop set up after buying a new pc.
That's awesome! Really appreciate the support Phil! Thank you.
Hi David. Your explanation was very expressive and easy to understand. I've been watching and gaining knowledge from your tutorials for some time now. Well done. keep it up
Hi Dave! I sometimes struggle with composition. So far my favourite solution to this is to sneak up on the scene when it’s not looking and snap!
Super adventure! Great film and photjos of this amazing trail. I like the fact that you were very descriptive of the hike.🔥🔥
Dave - This was your best lesson ever for me. Thanks for the format of showing the editing and how you got the shot. Might need to sign up for your Mt. Rainier workshop again; I've learned so much over the last 4 years.
Hey Pamela. Thanks! Glad to hear it:) It would be great to have you. I'd recommend my Olympic National Park workshop since you already shot rainier. Email me if you like and I can send you some info Dave@DaveMorrowPhotography.com
Thank you Dave . I would like to learn more about exposure blending and luminosity masks.
You amaze me!
Thanks for the video it’s very helpful I struggle with depth of field and lighting
So my biggest struggle is definitely editing, and by that I mean choosing the photos and getting things done all the way to publishing.
Terrific video, Dave. I like the detailed way you go through picking ss, f stop and iso to suit the conditions.
This is so good. Many thanks.
Love how you explain things. I struggle with layer masks but you make it look easy
Excellent video Dave, thank you for sharing your knowledge. I need to watch this again. Lovely landscape too
Great as usual Dave, have a great Christmas and thanks for all the inspirational content.
very informative tutorial Dave, appreciate all the work you put in to sharing your knowledge. Hope you have a great Christmas whatever you are doing
Dave, I've been a subscriber for quite some time now and love your spirit. Most people aren't willing to take the risk to do what they really love to do. They play it safe instead, like I did. I'm retired now and getting into photography, hook line and sinker. I love the sun rays from Skylum software. I use photoshop but I'm no expert yet. You mentioned that you could do the sun rays a number of different ways. Do you think you add a video about the different ways to do that? Thanks for all your work so far and looking forward to more.
One of your best videos Dave. Really enjoyed your Photoshop technique for adding fog. I've tried some plug-ins to add fog and they never look right. Your way looked very realistic. I've also tried Luminar Neo and earlier versions for light rays and seldom can I ever get them looking realistic. But I like your idea for adjusting them via masking. Merry Christmas Dave.
Thanks Reid! It's fun to play around with that stuff. Painting fog is the easiest way I've found. Also works well for sunlight, but a little harder. Merry Christmas!
Awesome video Dave - really enjoy your videos! I struggle a lot with setting white balance in the field. Half the time I forget and rely on auto white balance and post processing to fix it. For some reason, I’m intimidated by using a gray card… I don’t know why! 🤣
Hi Dave. Enjoyed the video, as always. The biggest problem I have is editing the photo to get the image I saw in my mind when I was pressing the shutter. I'm making progress, but still have to nail it.
An amazing location, loved the video always something to learn and inspire us mere photo mortals. Thank you. My skill struggle, is in getting out in the cold and bad weather..... However once up and out the door the coin flips to fun and enjoyment of exploring and capturing the images of the day. To return home and recall and admire the captures in the compfort of a nice warm home. - Have an amazing Christmas and New Year. Best wishes AlexW
Hey great channel!
Hey Dave. Hope your Christmas was good. I was trying to add fog to an image using your technique. I usually don’t use Camera Raw. You hit an “open object” button in the lower right of the screen. But I don’t have that button. I only have cancel and ok. How do I get that button visible?
Dave. I am having a problem with getting Family Photos during the Holidays. Need to take photos in dark conditions trying to get everyone together. need to use on camera speedlite 430 flash what are the best camera/ flash settings for getting good photos. Any other tips to get good photos of the people. I would sooner be taking landscape photos Merry Christmas
great info! Thank you! I appreciate the artistry but it is no longer the original scene.
hi, I saw a lot of your videos, unreal skill u showed, like I will never reach this level of "lightning" like u have
one question, u going to photoshoot alone? u r not scared in woods or mountains alone? :)
You can! Just practice. no, get used to being alone in the wild
@@DaveMorrow thx for reply, watching all of your videos over and over again, unreal skill, your fan from Slovakia ;)
@@pepemau5 No problem brother! Really glad you like the vids! Tons of free written guides here: www.davemorrowphotography.com/2013/01/tutorials-photography-post-processing.html
Hi Dave. Long time listener, first time caller. I struggle to pick up my camera. I don't mean in motivation, I mean physically. It's a Nikon Z9 and perhaps the heaviest thing in the universe. I'm going to the gym, but not sure that's enough. Any advice would be helpful. I can send you the GPS if that help?
Helium balloons.
My biggest challenge is mastering astrophotography. No matter what I do, I cannot get the images smooth. I do my best to get rid of the graininess in post processing, but it still isn’t good enough. But practice makes perfect, right? 😊
It's probably your camera. I'd recommend a full frame. Here's some recommendations: www.davemorrowphotography.com/p/whats-in-dave-morrows-camera-bag.html
