TASK :
WHITE BALANCE

WHITE BALANCE 

White Balance is a setting in our digital camera that help us to adjust and control colours to match the colour of the light source so the colour in the photos that we took have the same colour with our subjects. It is important to choose white balance depending on our light resources because if we use the wrong white balance, the colours can be different from the original one.

WHITE BALANCE
- CLOUDY

 

SETTING :

APERTURE : F5.6

SHUTTER SPEED : 1/50

ISO : 200

DETAILS : 

I took this photo outdoor and used a fake tiny plant as my subject. I took this around 3:53PM when it was cloudy. As you can see the colour can be different with different white balance. 

WHITE BALANCE :
-DIRECT SUNLIGHT

SETTING :

APERTURE : F5.6

SHUTTER SPEED : 1/800

ISO : 100

DETAILS : 

This one is also outdoor and i took this around 5:44PM where the sun at that time is flashing directly into my house. Direct sunlight is one of the most neutral white balance setting so it is recommended to shoot while the sun is bright and use a direct sunlight white balance because it can give you a clearer look and more accurate colour of the subject.

WHITE BALANCE :
-SHADE

SETTING :

APERTURE : F4

SHUTTER SPEED : 1/40

ISO : 200

DETAILS : 

I used a nail clipper as my subject and i shot this outdoor. It's around 6:27PM where there was a little light. White balance shade will give your picture a warmer look.

WHITE BALANCE 
- FLUORESCENT

SETTING :

APERTURE : F5.6

SHUTTER SPEED : 1/10

ISO : 400

DETAILS : 

I took this one indoor using my fluorescent light and a toy as my subject. I took this at 6:34PM but it doesn't affect anything since i was shooting indoor. Using fluorescent white balance gave me a more brighter and warmer colour.

WHITE BALANCE 
- TUNGSTEN

SETTING :

APERTURE : F5

SHUTTER SPEED : 1/5

ISO : 200

DETAILS : 

This one is also indoor and the lamp itself is the tungsten light that i used to shoot tungsten white balance. Tungsten white balance helps to make my photos look cool and soft.
