RYC101 Week 2 Mini Assignment
This week in class we're working on A LOT of stuff (in fact, I'm just getting caught up on week 2, and the course is actually in week 3, so expect a little bit of flurry as I try to get caught up). Not to mention (among other things) I totally jacked up all my old photo posts, and now have to recompile them -- that's more time consuming than it sounds.
Here's the mini-assignment:
Photo 1: Auto White Balance (AWB)
Photo 2: Shot on camera preset
Photo 3: Custom white balance (CWB)
This was fairly enlightening, because I thought my camera was doing "ok" with regard to the White Balance on presets, but (as you can see from picture 2) not so much. The CWB is useful if you're taking portraits, or really trying to get things right (and have the time to set up). But, for everyday snapshots (you know, the "hurry, get my camera, the girls are sitting next to each other and not hitting/slapping/kicking/fighting") I can't fault AWB a bit.

Great job with the illustration! I'm so jealous that your husband lets you practice on him (mine is completely camera-phobic)! Looking forward to seeing your week 3 pictures.
ReplyDeleteI'm with you...sometimes trying to get the WB just right is so difficult! I'd rather just leave my camera on AWB. And if it's way off, I've learned a couple of post processing tricks to fix it. Great demonstration btw!
ReplyDeleteWhen I figured out CWB it was that light bulb moment for me! I love your commentary on the pictures!
ReplyDeleteGreat photos! White balance makes such a difference!
