Last Week’s Topic: White Balance Explained

Last week we discussed white balance and how it helps photographers render color more accurately under different lighting conditions. White balance matters because light sources such as daylight, tungsten, fluorescent, and flash can all shift the color of an image in different ways. We also talked about using auto white balance, presets, and custom white balance to improve color accuracy or create a specific mood.

This Week’s Topic: Photography Workflow

This week’s topic is Photography Workflow, suggested by Dave N8SBE. Workflow is the step-by-step process that takes an image from capture to finished result, and it can make a big difference in how efficiently and consistently you work. A good workflow helps you stay organized, save time, and spend more energy on the creative side of photography instead of hunting for files or repeating tasks. Read more …

Last Week’s Topic: AE-L, AF-L, and * Buttons

Last week we discussed the AE-L, AF-L, and * buttons and how they give photographers more control over exposure and focus. AE-L locks exposure so the camera does not change its meter reading when you recompose, while AF-L locks focus so the camera does not refocus unexpectedly. On many cameras, the * button is also used for back-button focus, separating focusing from the shutter release for faster and more flexible shooting.

This Week’s Topic: White Balance Explained

This week we move into white balance, one of the most useful tools for getting color to look natural or intentionally stylized in your photos. White balance is the process of removing unrealistic color casts so that white objects look white and other colors appear more accurate under different lighting conditions. Cameras use white balance to account for the color temperature of the light source, since daylight, tungsten, shade, fluorescent light, and flash can all shift color in different ways. Read more …
