81
00:05:46,440 --> 00:05:51,120
mid-afternoon ago that 3,500 agrees to
4,500 Skillman once you hit that
82
00:05:51,120 --> 00:05:56,950
afternoon at noon daylight on a sunny
day that is that standard neutral white
83
00:05:56,950 --> 00:06:02,419
light 5500 degrees Kelvin which is what
flashes are balanced to that is
84
00:06:02,419 --> 00:06:04,910
basically almost like a pure white type
of light
85
00:06:04,910 --> 00:06:10,510
okay and then you go into cloudy and
overcast and shade in cloudy weather on
86
00:06:10,510 --> 00:06:14,880
an overcast days when you go into shady
even on a sunny day you're white balance
87
00:06:14,880 --> 00:06:19,340
is change or your color temperature will
change between around 6,000 to 7,000
88
00:06:19,340 --> 00:06:20,420
degrees Kelvin
89
00:06:20,420 --> 00:06:24,500
and then going into blue skies and
Twilight and nine-time
90
00:06:24,500 --> 00:06:29,760
can range between said 500 to 10000
degrees Kelvin or beyond ok so the car
91
00:06:29,760 --> 00:06:35,010
temperature of sunlight also changes now
why do I say color temperature and not
92
00:06:35,010 --> 00:06:38,160
the white balance will because color
temperature is the measurement of the
93
00:06:38,160 --> 00:06:43,060
color of the light white balance refers
to the actual camera setting where
94
00:06:43,060 --> 00:06:47,480
basically telling the camera what we
want that neutral point to be but I'm
95
00:06:47,480 --> 00:06:51,140
getting ahead of myself that's actually
worth the read before I wanna take
96
00:06:51,140 --> 00:06:55,580
number three let's not skip to number
two with just remember that some of
97
00:06:55,580 --> 00:07:00,790
these lights they can also put off
spending along with their color for
98
00:07:00,790 --> 00:07:05,990
example the most notorious of these is
the sodium vapor fluorescent lights
99
00:07:05,990 --> 00:07:10,040
these are the lights that fallen is 42
degrees Kelvin color temperature range
100
00:07:10,040 --> 00:07:13,760
the legs long tubular legs that are hung
in the offices and that kind of stuff
101
00:07:13,760 --> 00:07:18,070
there's not a very pleasing like to look
at but they're very efficient and that's
102
00:07:18,070 --> 00:07:21,080
why people use them so much that's why
companies and everyone put these all
103
00:07:21,080 --> 00:07:22,340
over the place
104
00:07:22,340 --> 00:07:26,870
those lights are notorious because they
put off a heavy heavy green tent
105
00:07:26,870 --> 00:07:30,920
basically in the wavelength for that
light the Greens banks and so when you
106
00:07:30,920 --> 00:07:34,250
put a person underneath that you take a
photograph of them they're going to look
107
00:07:34,250 --> 00:07:38,810
like the Incredible Hulk the dude and
they're working out a lot they might
108
00:07:38,810 --> 00:07:42,740
want to look like The Incredible Hulk
but in general most people do not want
109
00:07:42,740 --> 00:07:46,490
to look like The Incredible Hulk so what
we have to do with those is we actually
110
00:07:46,490 --> 00:07:50,150
have to change not only the white
balance but we also have to change the
111
00:07:50,150 --> 00:07:53,980
10th if you're shooting RAW you can do
this in post-production good just 10 for
112
00:07:53,980 --> 00:07:57,400
more green two more magenta and we
basically counteract its green
113
00:07:57,400 --> 00:08:02,720
just to be more magenta magenta just
more green but just remember that each
114
00:08:02,720 --> 00:08:06,470
one is less can also have a tempting
color effect as well so don't be
115
00:08:06,470 --> 00:08:09,570
surprised if you say you're white
balance and things still look greener
116
00:08:09,570 --> 00:08:13,289
they still look pink or whatever it is
in your image
117
00:08:13,289 --> 00:08:19,300
now let's move on to tip number three
and this is to set your cameras white
118
00:08:19,300 --> 00:08:23,589
balance and every camera is going to
have basic different options available
119
00:08:23,589 --> 00:08:28,219
to you so for example this is an
advanced DSLR this is the Canon 5d Mark
120
00:08:28,219 --> 00:08:32,120
III and I use this camera just to show
you that this camera has every one of
121
00:08:32,120 --> 00:08:33,620
these functions available to you
122
00:08:33,620 --> 00:08:38,209
cases I'm like a Nikon d800 5d Mark III
a Sony a seven those are all going to
123
00:08:38,209 --> 00:08:41,719
have every color temperature option or
white balance option available to you
124
00:08:41,719 --> 00:08:46,449
which means that not only can I go ahead
and I can get this way balance button
125
00:08:46,449 --> 00:08:50,079
and I can adjust between the different
presets so it has preset for some
126
00:08:50,079 --> 00:08:54,819
lighter has presents for shade has four
overcast has it for tungsten lighting
127
00:08:54,819 --> 00:08:59,660
fluorescent lighting flash lighting has
a custom white balance that we can use
128
00:08:59,660 --> 00:09:04,899
force a great cards which is again not a
101 type topic will get into that when
129
00:09:04,899 --> 00:09:09,410
we talk about studio lighting and also
has a way that the specific Calvin say
130
00:09:09,410 --> 00:09:13,259
this has all those functions available
in addition to the automatic white
131
00:09:13,259 --> 00:09:19,370
balance AWB no one quick note if you're
using auto white balance its ok to use
132
00:09:19,370 --> 00:09:22,410
it in daylight it generally does a
pretty good job when you're outdoors is
133
00:09:22,410 --> 00:09:26,529
still be a little bit off especially in
the shade but around that 55 degrees
134
00:09:26,529 --> 00:09:30,459
Kelvin range it does a decent job once
you bring it indoors auto white balance
135
00:09:30,459 --> 00:09:35,079
generally doesn't get you quite where
you want to be I recommend really just
136
00:09:35,079 --> 00:09:38,800
learning to set your white balance
regardless of a senior in even if you're
137
00:09:38,800 --> 00:09:44,279
outdoors or indoors it's a white balance
but this camera has all those functions
138
00:09:44,279 --> 00:09:45,190
available
139
00:09:45,190 --> 00:09:50,360
a more simple camera let's say a rebel
or a basic entry level camera might only
140
00:09:50,360 --> 00:09:54,449
have white balance presets mean that
there's no way to dial in a specific
141
00:09:54,449 --> 00:09:58,930
Kelvin number on this one I can actually
go like this what's this all do it
142
00:09:58,930 --> 00:10:02,139
actually will go to the menu for this
because I want to demonstrate one of the
143
00:10:02,139 --> 00:10:07,370
thing on the menu and I go to white
balance I can actually flip right over
144
00:10:07,370 --> 00:10:12,079
here to Calvin and I can dial this up
and down that may or may not be
145
00:10:12,079 --> 00:10:15,899
available to you depending on at the
camera make and model case of some of
146
00:10:15,899 --> 00:10:17,379
these more advanced features like that
147
00:10:17,379 --> 00:10:22,639
will not be available alright so that is
how we both know my recommendation to
148
00:10:22,639 --> 00:10:27,649
you is to set your white balance to
essentially the appropriate light in the
149
00:10:27,649 --> 00:10:32,639
scene what you're telling your camera is
what is the neutral light you're telling
150
00:10:32,639 --> 00:10:37,099
your camera I'm in a scene at thats all
tungsten lighting I want your treat
