Quite frequently. Guilty also. Still haven't seen a response to my "ill-posted" reply to OP.
To be honest, I thought you were responding to Pablo8. LOL! And also, i was not singling anyone out!

My post Quoted Poster 'CTHAHN' who is "A regular here" . ... Makes regular bland comments without quoting to whom he / she, is referring. Thus making the comments worthless to other readers. Not rocket science to ..."Quote Reply"... Or is it???

My post was not about you,but you certainly see how confusion can arise. No biggy,just trying to follow threads.

The key thing is you recognize the capabilities of each (shutter speed, aperture, & ISO) and use them to get the image YOU want!
In film days I have "wasted" a partial roll of film to change speed, type, or color-b&w more times than I care to think about -lol

You have at your disposal three tools, aperture, shutter speed and ISO. If you choose to use only two of these, you are limiting yourself. .../...
You really think I need this kind of advice?
I am puzzled by the way folks approach their own exposure as it seems primitive if not inadequate. If my choice of base ISO startles you, it is not a problem at all. To each their own. Personally I like the DR freedom I get using that so called 'base'. You also did not notice that I did mention that it is not a 'fixed rule' for me. I rarely stray away from it as I do not need to.
So far I still handle my camera steady at 1/4 of a second, up to 135mm focal length. I am lucky this way.

Sensors differ in terms of base ISO and it's possible to find out the base ISO of any digital sensor. In my experience they are often around 80 or 100. However, base ISO's of 200 have appeared on some camera's I have bought or sold.
As mentioned here by some, base ISO is the lowest in terms of producing noise in the image.
I too, always shoot my camera at base ISO, unless an extreme situation dictates otherwise..... shooting picture in dark bars, taverns and lounges. Oh wait, I quit drinking in 1973 and don't go in those places any more.
Why would anyone set ISO on AUTO and be out of control. If you set ISO on AUTO, then why the hell would you trouble yourself with any manual settings. You are not shooting in full manual, if you are not also controlling the ISO. It's the third leg of the Exposure Triangle.

Peace. Sometimes it's hard to figger-out who's responding to whose/what here on UHH; end result is we all learn from to-the-point posts.
I enjoy/appreciate yours when I see them.
*Very* occasionally it feels good to single a post or two (2) out for a troll.
Which is better: Nikon or Canon? (HA- hahahaha!)

I would be fine if my camera had only 3 ISO settings: As low as it goes, As high as it goes, and "good enough" somewhere around 800 or 1600.

Old time photographer and college photography instructor, a "good photographer " uses ALL the tools he/she has available. That includes but not limited to : F1.2 to F64 for control of depth of field. Shutter speeds from minutes to 1/4000 sec to control movement along with proper exposure. ISO (ASA) color, noise (grain). Choice of lens , make and focal length for perspective. Flash, supplemental light, filters, color, B&W etc. Don't limit yourself to just one method of shooting. Be creative, use all those tools to capture your vision.

Well said. My vestigial '60's NikonF, Tri-X pushed to ASA1600, Beseler 23CII and darkroom -- to Nikon D7200 PPdarkroom and all *agree* with your grain. Be creative with one's tools. Capture your vision. Damn the naysayers. (seriously)

ABSOLUTELY!
Hi/Hello Kfallsfotoman- I see you're a recent-sign-up UHH'er. *Welcome.* (I mean it)
As has been (off-topically, yet deservedly) discussed in this topic thread, when you post a comment without using the "Reply" or "Quote Reply" tab - such as nebulously posting "ABSOLUTELY!", you are giving *absolutelyness* to each and every post to the topic. I urge you to use those tabs when you post, and to keep pressing the shutter button, sharing, and learning as I do through UHH and other resources- after many years of trying to make my images "good."

For the most part, my digital and 35mm photos are at ISO 400. I just leave it at that ISO unless there is a particular reason to change. For strobe photography, I change the ISO to 100 and use my digitals most of the time. Since I'm usually hand holding these cameras, I set the shutter speed at something I know I can hold steady and vary the aperture to get optimum exposure.

Many time I see question over aperture or speed settings.
My puzzling is simple: Is not the subject determining the settings instead of the 'optimal' exposure settings?
I personally set the aperture to obtain the subject dof I need and the speed for effect - if needed -. I rarely vary from the base ISO.

Is that "OK" in UHH etiquette for us other folks who try to make things clear?
