I took some photos on manual focus, with the aperture priority setting. I worked on changing the depth of field and focusing the camera on the items I wanted to be clear and in shot. I also started to change the white balance too, on the last photographs. The white balance affects and changes the colours and tones of the photographs, either making them cooler or warmer.

I like how the light hits on the metal pieces and how the background has blurred, meaning the draw stands out for the viewer.

In the photos above you can see that they all have different white balances. Picture 1, was taken on auto white balance, so it white mainly. Picture 2, was taken on a greener white balance, so it is greener than picture 1. Picture 3, was taken on a warmer white balance, so it has an orangery cast.
