The same as with the previous exercise, there will be two shots of my father's face and one sea shell. But in this exercise, I should look at different white balance settings and how they affect the temperature of the colors.
1. At Sun - these three pictures have been taken at sun during the midday:
The first one has been taken with white balance set for Direct Sunlight.
The second one has been take with Direct sunlight white balance
And the third one has been taken at Auto white balance
1. At Sun - these three pictures have been taken at sun during the midday:
The first one has been taken with white balance set for Direct Sunlight.
145mm; ISO 200; F/6.0; 1/800
The second one has been take with white balance set as Auto.
130mm; ISO 200; f/6.0; 1/800 sec
The third picture has been take with white balance set at Shade.
150mm; ISO 200; f/6.3; 1/800 sec
The color temperature is different on all three pictures. Th interesting thing is that I would expect Shade white balance give cold temperature, while it appears absolutely the other way around. the coldest is Auto, and Direct sunlight is something in the middle.
2. At Shade - these three pictures have been taken in shade during the midday.
On the first picture white balance was set on Direct sunlight.
170mm; ISO 200; f/6.3; 1/100 sec
The second picture is taken with white balance at Shade setting.
145mm; ISO 200; f/6.0; 1/100 sec
The third one is with white balance at Auto.
185mm; ISO 200 f/6.3; 1/80 sec
White balance set for shade gives the warmest color temperature. Again is the coldest one.
3. These three pictures have been take at sunset.
The first one has been take with Shade white balance
90mm; ISO 400; f/4.5; 1/100 sec
The second one has been take with Direct sunlight white balance
90mm; ISO 400; f/4.5; 1/100 sec
And the third one has been taken at Auto white balance
90mm; ISO 400; f/4.5; 1/100 sec
In this case Shade has given the warmest color temperature. But as opposed to all previous pictures, the coldest one was given by Direct sunlight.
Summarizing this exercise, I can say that Auto balance would usually give the shot colder temperature of colors, except for sunset case. The balance can be reached by applying the white balance that is relevant for every particular case.
