Today’s lilies…had to do some editing to get color correct…neither camera nor phone seemed to get it right…guessing I need to adjust the white balance on the camera? Not something I’ve learned much about yet. Advice appreciated.
a lifelong Michigander...enjoy photography and have a new camera to learn. favorite subjects include flowers, light and its effects, Marty the family Welsh springer,...
Do you shoot raw? If so, you can adjust white balance easily in editing program like Lightroom. Do you have manual for your camera? If so, it will tell you how to adjust white balance. There should be settings for daylight, cloudy, shade etc. If you shoot in raw you don’t need to have it right in camera because its easy to do in processing. If you shoot jpegs the options are less. Beautifullilies and shot
@jackies365@jgpittenger I have not been brave enough to try raw yet. I do know how to change the light settings on my cameras; just not something I’ve incorporated into my thinking yet. :). Need to move on from aperture, ISO, and shutter speed and expand my shooting strategies! Thanks for commenting!
@amyk after shooting jpeg and trying to adjust afterwards compared to adjusting raw files the difference is amazing. If you have 2 card slots you can set one for raw and one for jpeg. You do have to have a program to edit raw files though! I find reds hard to edit in general!
I think once you've leapt to RAW and post-processing you won't regret it, although it is a bit of a learning curve. Canon (and I think Nikon) provide free processing software with all their cameras. The Canon version is almost as good as Lightroom.
Extraordinary flowers! Wonderful capture!
As for advice, I shoot in aperture mode and set the white balance to auto. I analysed it as part of that Emma Davies course and noticed that it is the best option. I change it only rarely.
I'm like you and often forget I have the ability to change the camera's light settings to help out with the color balance. I'm still stuck in my 35mm days in the way I think sometimes. That being said, if you don't know what the colors looked like beforehand you wouldn't notice anything wrong with this picture. The lilies are beautiful.
