A white object will still appear white in our eyes lit yellow though. It happens because our eyes adapt, our reasoning also helps to know that the things that we see white. However, if it’s white and yellow light illuminated photographed, it would appear yellowish in the picture. No white again.

It happened because the camera is not thinking. He just record what it is. When will he recorded white white, and red if the red tape will he. The camera does not matter where that color comes: whether the original color or colors of light that came from.

Digital Photography Lighting

That is why, in the world of digital photography is known of the adjustments on the white color, which is known as the white balance or commonly abbreviated WB. These adjustments are made so that it will be recorded in white light white with any color.

Watch Photo 1 which is divided into two. Photo 1A is a photograph of him WB is still wrong because the light that shines not white. With proper correction, Image 1B appeared with its original color.

Authenticity is very important color in the photographs that require color accuracy such as photo rag, paintings, and other commercial items.

Why white

The reason why the white color was chosen as the basis of the correction is because this color is only on the absolute change. He was given a yellow light will be yellow and so on. As for other colors, if given a yellow color, will turn into a new color that is not measurable. This measurable problem so important because we need the original measure in order to correct the color can be back to the original. Only the white color is accurate. There was no young white, old white, yellowish white or greenish white. White white yes, period.

In a digital camera, a function WB settings. This setting is done to adjust to the light that we use. If the correct settings, the colors on our pictures will be accurate.

In the amateur camera, the settings based on the mere symbols. Choose a symbol of the sun when light is shining on our photos sunlight. Choose the symbol that incandescent light is shining on our image is light from incandescent lamps, and so on.

Other symbols are pictures of neon for neon lighting, drawing the lightning to flash lighting, picture lighting on the clouds for cloudy weather, and pictures of some houses tercahayai for photos in the shade.

Auto WB

There is one more option, namely the AWB (Auto WB, or WB automatic) aka the conclusion of the camera. Be careful with this option because the camera AWB could be wrong to conclude as shown in Photo 2. In Photo 2A, yellow discs recorded on the AWB yellow because the white and gray is a comparison. But there is no comparison when you take a picture, aka yellow disc in a very close distance, the yellow disc will be recorded by the camera so the white AWB set.

In a professional camera, WB settings can be done more accurately, namely by adjusting the degrees Kelvin of the light that we mencahayai photos. Afternoon sunlight temperature of about 5500 degrees Kelvin, the fluorescent light of about 4000 degrees Kelvin, the light bulb of about 3000 degrees Kelvin, and so on.

Error degrees Kelvin set will affect the color error in our image. For example the camera is set to 3000 degrees Kelvin (incandescent lamps), but used in daylight shooting, images produced would total bluish.

Conversely, if the camera is set for the sun (5500 degrees Kelvin), but used the photograph in a room lit by incandescent lamps, resulting photographs will be yellowish.

So, if we are yellowed photographs, degrees Kelvin means setting our cameras are too high. Derive the settings, such as from the sun to be neon, or from fluorescent to incandescent lamps. In professional settings, reduce the number of degrees Kelvinnya, for example, from 5000 to 3000.

And vice versa. If we bluish image, change the camera sets us from incandescent to fluorescent or neon into the sun. In professional settings, raise the number of degrees Kelvinnya, for example, from 3000 to 5000.

For photography stage, choose WB 5500, aka the same with the sun, red so red and blue recorded blue recorded as in Photo 3.

Shooting stage is generally the color that the game had to be recorded as it is. Selection WB 5500 degrees Kelvin is the point of choice for all the color range can be recorded properly.

At the shooting scene this morning, there was a good idea of deliberately setting. Light morning temperature of about 4500 degrees Kelvin, so when the camera is set to daylight, the picture will be yellow. Recorded the morning.

But, for better results more yellow (warm impression), the camera can be set to 6000 or even 7000 degrees Kelvin.

The same trick can be done if the shooting was late due to oversleeping, for example.
