Hi everyone,
I'm a little confused as to what my Auto ISO is doing. Yesterday I had a practice equine shoot at a barn. I positioned the horse at the door of the barn, facing the light. Behind him, the doors and windows were closed to make it as dark as possible. Unfortunately, there some of the stalls were painted white but in post I go in a blackout most of the background. Anyway, my question is this. For animals portraits, I usually shoot wide open at 2.8 with a minimum shutter speed of 1/500. The sky was still quite bright (I thought) but most of my photos had ISO's of 12,800 which completely shocked me. I don't think the horses look terrible and I'm going to black out the background anyway. But is this normal? I had my minimum ISO set to 100. Is there another setting I'm missing? Should I be using a specific metering mode? I shoot in RAW but exported a jpeg (no editing) to include in this post. Thanks in advance for feedback.
1/1000 sec at f/2.8, ISO 12,800, 180mm, Nikon D750, Tamron 70-200mm
