I should have started with that.  I understood more about the relationship between aperture, shutter, iso, and white balance after a round of shots in manual than I have after reading a stack of explanations about it all.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m happy enough with this shot, but it makes me wish I had a better way to control lighting.  There are reflections on the teapot.  Those are partly from an overhead light and partly from a window.  I needed something more diffused.  Clearly I need a studio setup.  Since that isn&#8217;t likely to happen in this decade, it&#8217;s back to the books.
