How I learned to stop worrying and love high ISO. © Jerry Ginsberg – All Rights Reserved (With apologies to the late Stanley Kubrick.) For decades no one has been a bigger advocate than I for constantly using a stable tripod. If we were after the sharpest possible images with the least amount of digital noise or film grain, low ISO was a fundamental ingredient.

Then one day around 1990, I found myself in an airport with an hour to kill. While browsing a magazine stand, a cover featuring a brilliantly colored landscape caught my eye. That was my introduction to Outdoor Photographer. I was instantly hooked. After subscribing, I waited eagerly each month for the next issue to arrive so that I could devour the wealth of information that I always found between the covers.
