Things are still a bit messy on the blog as it is imported from my old website. If you’ve ever done this, you know that these transitions never go as smoothly as they claim. A few links may still be broken. Thanks for your patience.
My very un-scientific white balance card comparison
Being able to set your white balance in the camera is one of the greatest advantages of shooting digitally over shooting with film. If you are still struggling with how to get good colour in your photos, a white balance card, or digital grey card is one tool that can help you with this.
The importance of calibrating your computer screen color
You've been going through all the exercises in my photo lessons. You've spent time getting the perfect lighting, perfect white balance, perfect exposure, and best composition, and you are now ready to have a look at the photos on your computer. You load up your photos and open a couple up in your favorite image editing program. Your heart sinks. Um . . . What happened?Your photos look nothing like the way they were in your scene. Now it's true, your mind can probably fill in the blanks and recreate that magical place for you in true colour, but really deep down you know something isn't quite right.
