ISO ISO is the amount of light a picture needs to capture everything. In the picture below I turned down the ISO so not much light was let in Making the things that are brighter stand out and those that have not much light become dark, like my black shoes. To the right is a dark hallway where I turned up the ISO making the dark hallway appear to be brighter.

In the upper right is a vase with white roses. The light hits the roses from the top making the bottom shadowy. To the left is a picture of a person standing at the end of the West High art hallway. As the light shines through the window it distorts the person’s silhouette. Above is a beautiful leafy archway draped with bright white lights.
