Week 3 Lesson

OK, this week's lesson was all about white balance, which is the color of light. Somehow it is all tied together with proper exposure, but I'm not quite getting the connection. In my head they (exposure and white balance) are different. Did I tell you I was going to figure this all out?

So I used a white foam board to set the camera's custom white balance. I've done it before, but this time I really concentrated on getting the steps right. I think it turned out well, but I am a fan of the warm hues in the "cloudy" setting.

One thing I need to know more about is using the GREY card for exposure. Can you set it the same way? Joanna says it has to do with properly exposing the pictures in POST PROCESSING. I have used a grey card differently. So much to learn . . .
