What is White Balance?

‘White Balance means adjusting the colors so that the image looks more natural. We go through the process of adjusting colors to primarily get rid of color casts, in order to match the picture with what we saw when we took it. We do this because most light sources (the sun, light bulbs, flashlights, etc) do not emit purely white color and have a certain “color temperature“.  Proper camera white balance has to take into account the “color temperature” of a light source, which refers to the relative warmth or coolness of white light. Our eyes are very good at judging what is white under different light sources, but digital cameras often have great difficulty with auto white balance (AWB) — and can create unsightly blue, orange, or even green color casts.’

Experimenting with the White Balance, Inside and Outside

The first eight photographs where taken indoors, where I used every White Balance mode there was on my DSLR. These images consist of  artificial lighting, produced from the ceiling lights, due to this it makes the difference in White Balance a lot harder to recognise. However, the last eight photographs have been captured outside using natural lighting. This has allowed the different White Balances to be seen clearly.
