AblazeWithLight - Sebastian Opitz Photography: White Balance
http://ablazewithlight.blogspot.com/2011/12/white-balance.html
Saturday, December 10, 2011. This time I would like to emphasize the importance of adjusting the color temperature of night pictures in order to create a special atmosphere. Artificial light tends to play tricks on your camera and the automatic white balance usually goes totally wrong. None the less, I do set the white balance to automatic for most of my pictures, since the RAW format allows for adjusting the color temperature during post-processing. 4300K, Tint 5. 2700K, Tint 10. Labels: 14-24mm f2.8.
