It’s time to crank up your ISO. In this episode, we dispel the myths about high ISO being noisy and grainy and show you what you need to do if you’re shooting this way.

Gina and Valerie discuss the various situations where high ISO should be used (and it’s not just when there is low light or at night!) and the extra techniques you need to employ if you choose this setting.

Gina and Valerie love bringing this podcast to you.
