I feel like some people shoot high iso to cover up for their laziness… At least for street/ travel style photography, resorting to noisy high iso where you shouldn’t even be taking that photo in the first place as the lighting is shit.
At the end of the day, photography is about capturing light… if you don’t have any, you either create it, go long exposure, or leave the scene!
yep exactly... I mean if you're on a job, fair enough... but even then I would never go for a commercial shoot without any lights regardless! And if you're doing a commercial shoot, you generally have to plan for the lighting as well, i.e., end of day softer sunlight, rain/overcast, morning hard contrast etc etc.
It does seem we're on the minority which is surprising, then again, remember this is only reddit/ many self proclaimed pros here! I am by no means a professional but if I know for a fact from many pro friends that if I were to just suggest 'just max out the ISO' to cover up for boring or lack of light, they would definitely chuckle ahahah
