Lisa's Photo Card Tutorial - Part 1

Taking good photographs is a mystery to me, so I am very excited about Lisa's Photo Tutorial! I hope that you will join us  http://sideoatsandscribbles.wumple.com/2009/05/28/white-balance-tutorial/!  The first part of the tutorial is about White Balance.  Lisa provides us with a card to download so that we are able to compare our results.

I took the photographs of this card on the tile bathtub ledge near a south window that has a sheer white curtain.  The time is close to noon and it is a warm sunny day today  : )  I tried three different settings on the White Balance menu of my camera.


This is the WB setting .



                               

This one is the Cloud setting.





This is the Auto setting.


My whites range from yellow-white to blue-white!  I seem to prefer the card photographed with the cloud setting, even though it's a sunny day ! ?

Thank you for visiting!

    What a difference Susanne, If your card is white to start with wouldn't the true colour be the last one; your Auto setting?

    I am also playing around with Lisa's ideas, it's going to take a while!

    Isn't it neat to see the difference? I want to take more photos inside too. . .only did outdoors so far. I tend to like the last one. Brighter and more true to the white card.

    It's amazing the difference in the cards depending on the setting you used. I found that I prefered one I took with the wrong setting for the conditions too!
