A Horse of a Different Color….

How helping a participant with a white balance problem led to some interesting variations!  One of our attendees at the Red Rock tour this morning was having some white balance issues and we were working through the check list to see if we could help him get it lined out!  In the process we discovered what a dramatic different the white balance settings make!

 

The three images above are three different white balance settings for the same scene, no other differences! In my opinion I like them all!!!  I would tell you which is the most accurate, but what fun would that be??  You look at them carefully and pick the one you like!  The fun thing to do is pick a white balance setting you think is close and then turn on your Live View and cycle through the white balance settings making note of the ones you like as possible variations.  Then have fun!

 

It’s going great, wonderful group of people, and great light this morning, more to come!

 

Blessings,

    They are ALL beautiful Bill, you’re so right! I’d LOVE if the second photo was the most accurate…that would have been amazing to see in person, but then again, that’s true of any of the images. They are all superb!

    Thanks Jenn,
    The images got reordered, but the one that is now last, was second, was at a white balance setting of “fluorescent!!!” It’s all in the ay we see things!

  3. Bill – Day 1 Monument Valley was amazing. Love this about the white balance and want to know more. Loved catching those silhouettes very early in the morning with everyone. Can’t believe we were all out in that amazing area shooting some of God’s magnificent creation.
