Personally I think the composition isn’t bad but I am really surprised that even at this ISO the picture still isn’t as bright as it should have been. I would say go higher and also probably slow down your shutter speed further. My thoughts exactly.

Composition and subject are nice (maybe just started the horizon a bit). I would not go higher on ISO. I would lower it and just use much slower shatter speed. Of cause would have mu camera on the tripod. Boat wasn’t moving, right?

Thanks for the comments & suggestions. The boat wasn’t moving & I used a tripod for this shot.

Hi Oksana, still on this interesting discussion about reducing the ISO. I came across a tutorial where someone mentioned a classic rule about ISO. It goes as follows:
Good ISOs: 160, 320, 640, 1250, and 2500
Avoid using: 125, 250, 500, and 1000.
What do you say to that please? It appears confusing to me because from my understanding, the higher you go the grainier the picture but the more sensitive to light the camera becomes and hence the exposure is increased. There shouldn’t be any classification of the ‘good’ and ‘bad’ ISO values. I need clarification. Here is the link to the page.

Oksana, am sorry for posting this multiple times, this was because it kept showing me error messages anytime i submitted. Could you be kind enough to delete 1 of them because I cant seem to be able to do so. Thanks.
