Description
I stupidly forgot to adjust my ISO for this shot. The exhibit was pretty brightly lit, as far as aquarium exhibits go, and I left the ISO on 1600!
My noise remover got rid of the worst of it, but you can still see the remnants of noise in some parts.Oh well, I'll have other chances.

I absolutely love sea dragons, I always go looking for them out in the bay, although there more weady ones around here (Which I think have prettier colours anyway although the leafy ones have cooler fins). This shot is beautifully clear. Loving all the detail and patterns

I have no idea what the ISO is, but I think this is a beautiful shot! *would add an emote if i knew how*

ISO refers to film speed, and it's a concept that was transferred from film photography to digital photography. Higher ISO means you can take pictures in lower light conditions, but it also means that you introduce more noise (the little grainy spots you can see in the bottom of this photo) into the image.
And, you can look at this link to learn deviantART emoticon codes. 
Thanks for liking my photo!

What do you enter to use the emotes?
Do you use the : around that name of the emote?
