Hello! First of all, I didn't see the other question you asked about the strobes being too bright but I wanted to know what kind of camera you are using? I assume it's an SLR? When you say strobes do you mean small on camera flashes or seperate strobes like used in studeos? As to ISO, I think that the generalizations don't mean as much as it seems once you get more familiar with your camera. I use ISO 100 in almost all lighting conditions also since I have a tripod so shutter speed isn't as much of a problem unless people or things are moving. Anyway, 100 or 200 are usually used in bright lighting conditions and are of better quality than 800, which is more sensetive so it takes less light to make the same image, is usually used in lower light situations where your shutter speed will normally sink below or slower than 1/60 second. 800 could also be assurance for moving objects to make sure you are using a fast enough shutter speed. Feel free to check out my gallery that I think is advertised under my picture on the left here. The skateboarder pictures have a shutter speed of around 1/250 second or 1/300 second at something like f8 or f11 even though I'm using ISO 100 becuse isn't so bright out. For some of the darker pictures I had to steady the camera somehow other than just holding it in my hands because I was still using ISO 100. Had I been using ISO 800, I probably could have hand held the camera. I hope this helps a little bit! Feel free to contact me through my gallery!
