How my Camera Sees Color in Light

Today, in groups of six, each member of the class had the opportunity to experiment with each main white balance setting under different types of lighting.

The four white balance setting used in this experiment are Daylight, Tungsten, Flurescent, and Auto White Balance (AWB). We took a total of 12 photos, with 4 in each location using daylight, tungsten, and fluorescent lighting seperately.

Daylight white balance will render the photo's color balance warmer in an indoor setting, and neutral while shooting outdoors.

Tungsten white balance will add cool tones to the balance the image from the tungsten's yellow light.

Fluorescent white balance will add warm tones (especially red) to balance out the green of the fluorescent lighting (the color's opposite).

Auto White Balance is set to automatically adjust the white balance based on the surrounding light, and tries to set the photo to a neutral color balance.
