For those of you who have been asking, this is just a free course, but an awesomely well and clear structured one, it is one you can find on Two Peas In A Bucket, the link to the first 6 weeks (their are 12 in total) can be found here (it is a PDF so takes a while to open)
So this week we had to find something to photograph that doesn't move :) Meet Mr Fake Sunflower :) We had to do this indoors, pop on a light and also have some natural light.
This was the best and closest photo to the actual flower and vase, and it was taken with my custom white balance setting, using a white cardboard.
This one was taken using the 'Sunny' whitebalance, not too bad, but those whites are def not white.
I have been shooting in Auto Whiteblance, and I never realized what a yucky setting it was till a week ago when someone said that Katie's skin had the 'grey' colour that comes from an auto whitebalance setting. Since then I have changed to custom or sunny and it is sooo much better!
I think this one was taken with your Indoor light setting. Now if it was nightime and my only source of light was the lightbulb it might have worked a wee bit better, but with this photo with some daylight light as well, well yuck!
And I think this one was from the Fluorescent whitebalance setting, obviously doesn't work there!
Was a really fun and interesting learning experience!! Bring on WEEK 4!! :)
