Assignment #6 White balance


The first three pictures were taken inside. The first one was on auto mode, second in fluorescent and third was on the second fluorescent mode.The white of the pearls and cup was not pure. Therefore, it is hard to tell which of the three pictures is more accurate.



Now for the outside shots, I still decided to use the cup and the pearls. However, as I was taking the pictures, i noticed an old cigarette butt lying by my objcts. I included it into my picture since the white of the cigarette was a little closer to the real thing. As I was leaning down to take the pictures, a man walked past me and threw a full cigarette at my feet and said: use this. Strange yes, did it help? Also a yes. It was an interesting development. It made my assignment easir and more interesting. Now, my photo tells a story.For the first shot, I used fluorescent mode, then cloudy, then auto. I think the camera made the right decision. What I found strange was that it was a cloudy day and the camera didnt chose the cloudy setting. The auto mode mode was deffinetely the most accurate. What do you think?

  1. If I had to decide which white balance was more accurate for the inside shots, I'd say it was the second photo.

    I like that you were not only "clicking" but were also making the photographs more interesting by working with the composition and the layout of your objects.

    I think your story of the cigarette will be the one I remember most from this term.

    Well done Ekat.
