White Balance

White balance is something most photographers aren’t aware, but it has its uses. What it means in the simplest from is, the reason why we adjust white balance is to get the colors in your image as accurate as possible.  Sometimes when you take an image, you might notice it might come out either somewhat orange or blue due to the images temperature. What white balance would do is kind of gets rid of those colors in the image so that the actual original colors don’t have a brighter or darker tint to it. Now luckily for us, most cameras have automatic modes to help you with the white balancing mode, so you don’t necessary have to do it manually. These setting modes are : AUTO, TUNGSTEN, FLUORESCENT, DAYLIGHT/SUNNY, CLOUDY, FLASH, and SHADE all help you adjust and use white balance in your images. In most cases you can get a pretty accurate result using the above preset white balance modes, but some digital photos won’t. White balance is used to get the colors and just the colors from the image without having a tint in it.
