White Balance & Aperture
Sunday, I decided to pull out my camera and
play with the manual settings so that I
can be a little more creative when taking
photos.
I put in a Tutorial DVD which brought me
through every feature of my camera. I
also watched another DVD regarding
ISO, Shutter speed and Aperture and white
balance, which is very important to know.
I have to say I really learned something!
I now have a better understanding of the
three and also a better understanding of
my lenses.
The Picture above was set for AV. Aperture
Value. I also set my white balance manually.
You can read below how I did that.
Below are a few of the photos I took
after my lessons. I am very pleased
with what I learned and will watch the
DVD again to reinforce what I learned.
I focused on the fence post using a f/2.8
aperture.
With this shot, I placed a piece of 8x10 white paper
over the muffins, I then focused my camera on the paper
so that it filled the frame and took a shot. I then set my
white balance to this paper and took the picture of the
muffins. The color came out perfect. The room was low light,
and still I didn't have to use a flash!
