White Balance
Personally, white balance, is a key factor to me as it could really destroy/emphasis your image. First of all, it depends on what you want, but sometimes, you can get washed out photos from the sun and you could also have a rainy day were your picture could end up looking really dark. So white balance matters immensely. It's written as 'WB' on the camera and you have multiple settings, for example, on days when it's cloudy, rainy, sunny, foggy, flash etc. Down below, shows the different types of what white balance that you can do. You can get multiple effects within white balance that can change the colour of the photo, whilst taking it. For example, tungsten, would make the picture more dimmed/gloomy if you're in a cloudy environment.

Tungsten is the blue-colour for this image that gives a different edge to this image. It makes it more unique rather than having the normal colour. Equally, it can look moody or scary like when in this colour as it's quite cold and almost empty.

This is by far the worst white balance photo I took, it's very washed out and this is not visibly seen to anybody who wants to understand what's in the photo - if this was taken correctly, the view of this would've been amazing as it was straight and had a contrast from the red and green.
