ISO, White Balance, & Bracketing

ISO, white balance, & bracketing all have different roles but they all play a big part in photography and how pictures appear. ISO is a setting that controls the light in your picture. A higher ISO allows you to take good pictures in the dark while a lower ISO would be used for pictures in the light. White balance is a setting that changes the color temperature of an image, this can help make the image look more natural. Bracketing uses the exposure triangle by using multiple shots at either a different exposure, ISO, or white balance, so that the photographer can get the perfect picture.

I set this as my featured image because I like the way the fluorescent affect has on this lighting. It is a nice cool tone and you can see the detail in the pumpkin with the background blurred.
