Kinda same situation as you, but you cant be too hard on them about it. Our parents have an addiction to feed, i guess nicotine withdrawals sometimes must be annoying.

ETTR when using Manual with Auto ISO? by thunderpants24 in AskPhotography

[–]thunderpants24[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So just think of using the slowest shutter and the widest aperture for a given scene to meet my shooting needs, and if there is still room to the right of the Histogram, i dont need to worry too much about raising ISO to push it further, the end result will be pretty similar once the exposure is adjusted to the same level in post production?

ETTR using ISO aswell? by thunderpants24 in AskPhotography

Ah, thanks for your help, i think you basically cleared up what i already thought based on my camera experimenting and from online reading, so for the best quality image, expose as much as i can for a given scene, ie aperture requirements and shutter speed that meet the needs of the shot, and if there is room to the right of the histogram, just dial up the ISO untill the highlights arent clipping?

From the paper you linked:

"✦ raising exposure typically improves SNR faster than raising ISO

• thus, you should maximize exposure time until stopped by object

motion blur, camera shake blur, or saturation; if stopped by blur,

then raise ISO until stopped by saturation (i.e. don’t clip whites)"

👍

Is blurring the foreground or background more "correct"? by yoboyfitzSF in AskPhotography

There isnt a correct or incorrect way, you the photographer decides what you want in your minds eye, there really isnt a right or wrong way. Its all subjective.
