Week 5

Week 5 is all about custom camera settings (ie custom white balance, picture styles etc). We also had our first critique. Here are some of the pics I submitted:

 And just to illustrate the benefits of a custom white balance, this next photo was taken using the camera's tungsten white balance to compensate for the poor lighting. It doesn't look too bad.

 

However, when you compare it to the next photo that was a custom white balance using a gray card in the poor lighting, you can see how bright white the puppy's fur is. Custom white balances are quite simple to do and make an incredible difference in your photos.
