Setting White Balance (cont.)Beginner Content


In the Degrees Kelvin setting (left) the water is white, which is how it actually appeared. The Auto White Balance setting (right) did a good job, but it didn't accurately depict the white water. The selected Kelvin temperature was 4435, and turning on Live View enabled photographer Lindsay Silverman to see the results as he selected different Kelvin settings.

 


These photos were made using an SB-800 Speedlight. Flash White Balance (left) does a better job of depicting the scene than Auto White Balance (right), which had trouble with the fluorescent and other lights in the scene.

 


The Cloudy White Balance setting (left) warms the hands but doesn't produce the bright white of Auto White Balance.
