I did some playing with the white balance settings on my camera. Tomorrow - custom! LOL


ISO - 100, SS - 1/200, F/5.6 - Flash used
White balance - Tungsten


same settings as above, but white balance flash

And as a side note, I can't wait for some spring outside pictures!!!

Effective illustration of the difference white balance can make! I am on the Hurry Up Spring bandwagon, also. Pathetic--it's only January. AUUGH!!

Isn't it amazing the difference!? I finally got a grey card and a white card, of course I actually have to use it to be effective! I'll put that on my to do list for the winter too ;)

What a difference a little WB can make. I need to play with my WB more.

White balance, yeah, that's a fun one!!! :( My daughter has one of those too. I guess I'll have to start using her toys as subjects since she won't sit still for me!!

Great comparison! I usually delete my fautly practice shots..I should keep them and view them larger so I can really compare! Great idea!

Stacey said...

I can't wait for spring too! I need to keep practicing until then, so I will hopefully know how to use my camera by then!
