OMG, omg, White Balance – WB: we are stepping to the Lightroom process, RIGHT NOW !
Behold !! it’s going to be a Long story in a 3 minutes.
Here goes the examples :
Not clear? Have some more !!
Okay, I told you before in the setting post. White balance requires a little more experience.
For what? – For making white becomes white. Is it necessary or important?
Yes and No. I once worked for Muscle Dazzle the female body builder bikini maker. All I had to do is taking photos and make sure that the color is correct! Yes blue must be blue red is red, but Canon old model – purple gone blue !! OmG, you need to understand the color mixing how to mix it to white. There are only 4 colors and 2 Opposite patterns (Temp and Tint), to make it white. Lightroom also prepares it for you.
Yes, Only this, you have to play with – Blue to Orange And Green to Magenta.
Image that, you take a photo of your friend in the concert – your photo is too much blue on the skin, you need to add more orange. Whatever, To make it clear if one of the object are already white, but you see it that Blue, Orange or Green, Magenta is in the white color – You need to mix the opposite color to make it white. Then, the rest of image color will be correct!
3 Minutes END !!
From the 2nd set of Image, you see ?
Which image is more attractive – Left or Right?
White balance is good, too good is going to be very boring.
Image (again) that, you take a photo of your family in the sunset beach, but you have is clear white beach and blue sky- No more Orange. lol That’s very funny!
That’s why I don’t want to talk about white balance, but you just need to understand the process of the color. XD
The rest is on your experience- how you want to “Dye” your photo?
You might need more green if The object is on the garden or jungle.
or more blue for beach or snowing scene.
More orange for a warm fireplace. ect.
This means you can control the “Temperature” of the images by using color.
For my case, I prefer “0” EV and normal white balance, it allows me to edit later in Lightroom. XD
Have Fun!
May more, and more interesting photography experience happen to you!
