White Balance and Color Theory

Essentially, white balance is concerned with the overall color of the light in which you are shooting. For example, light at the time of a dramatic sunset will have a distinctly reddish color cast to it. While interior lights, such as a certain incandescent lights can give off an orange glow. Our eyes are so good at adjusting for these color cast that we often aren't aware of them, but for digital camera, unless the color of the lighting is addressed, whites will not appear in the capture image, hence the term "white balance". In the case of sunset, whites will appear rossy pink, while in incandescent light, it will appear orange.




The Color of Light

To reach us, light waves of color must travel from the sun and through our atmosphere, which acts as a filter. Because of the curvature of the earth, at sunup and sundown, these light waves must travel through more of our atmosphere than they would if coming from directly overhead at midday. As these light waves swim through our thick atmosphere, the shorter wavelengths on the cool end of the spectrum get lost in atmospheric dust and water and cannot reach us. This leaves the longer, warmer waves of light to penetrate our atmosphere and illuminate our subjects.

know your camera! mas mau if you can control your camera even without removing your eyes from the viewfinder. murag i-baby jud ba. like padung matulog or magtanga, hold your camera and feel the controls, if not memorize. aron during shoots, instincts na ang mucontrol sa camera and you'll get to concentrate more on composition, metering, exposure, and that instantaneous must-be-shot scene or moment. di kay maghuna2 pa ug asa gani to button para magchange ug white balance? or asa gani to para magselect sa focus points? haha. =)

Noob here. Need your help mga master! What's a good aperture setting for shooting group pictures? Like more or less 10 people ba ron. How do i keep everyone sharp? I have a problem with my shots kay naay uban na ma out of focus. And also, if i'm using center point autofocus, asa man nila nako ifocus? In the middle of the group? Ang nearest person naku? The farthest? Or is it better if iactivate nalang naku tanan AF points? Please help! Salamat daan.
