White Balance


Having a proper white balance set is one of the most important things to remember when shooting photos. It is not the end of the world if the balance is set wrong with tools in post production can normally fix the image but it is a time consuming habit to get in. The typical goal of white balance is to make an accurate color palate that matches your subject. This does not necessarily mean that this rule has to always be fallowed and in my one of the surfer paddling is an example of a very wrong use of balance but I dont really mind it. It makes him look like he is on another planet. The photo I took of the skateboarder I used a warmer balance for a film like feel. I really like the shot of the Sasquatch looking man in the wet suit set against the milky white storm surf.
