More on my Digital Photography class

White Balance

The second lesson in the Digital Photography class was finally posted last evening. This week we need to take 3 photos of cloud formations at different times of the day. We then need to change the White Balance on our camera, and take photos of something white.

I was totally in the fog when I first read the lesson, but after I played with the camera I found that I'd actually learned more than I thought.

I knew that white is the combination of all colors of the spectrum, and that black is the absence of color. But I never really understood what all that meant until I read Lesson 2, where Jessica showed us examples of some of her photos, pointing out differences in each photo.
