Re: A few nature pics
Not bad, I'd adjust the White balance a bit, but otherwise good.
What camera is it? |

Re: A few nature pics

Re: A few nature pics
The swan pic isn't a white balance issue, it's caused by the camera meter "seeing" all the dark water and background and exposing for that. The swan is overexposed, loosing detail in the whites.
Mike, changing white balance simply adjusts the camera sensors reaction to the colour of light it reads. For example, if the camera was set to sunshine balance and you used it under tungsten light, the pic would look warm and orangy-yellow. Under fluorescent tubes, green. I don't know the camera DJ is using, but I never change the settings on my DSLR away from auto. Anyway, here's a pic of a Gul...  Pete

Re: A few nature pics
After reading an article in practical photography, I run my white balance on cloudy most of the time, makes the white more natural.
I took loads of the same pic and changed the white balance on every one to see what looked the best, cloudy gave the best results which concurred with the article. |
