  • Well for a long time I could never grasp how to use White Balance,, that is until now!. Your teaching is right on point and I can say now that I actually have got the concept and feel with confidence I can apply this to my Photography. Thank you.

  • Mark, probably the first time I have been vaguely close to understanding white balance. I have updated my Notifications to ALL videos. I also appreciated your warm and professional relationship with Teresa. She totally supported you in what you were trying to explain. What a great team you two make. I'm all for a Mark & Teresa Understanding Camera Settings series

  • Great video Mark Wallace its good to see how to go about correcting White Balance! Doing it in Post its always Plan B but if one can get it right from scratch its better. I am having an issue with a Canon Point & Shoot Camera, using the Pop Up Flash alone or to trigger a Speedlight and even selecting Daylight WB still gives me a warmer over all tone. I tried selecting Custom WB but then I get a slight Cyanosh tone but closer to neutral. Thanks ADORAMA for having someone of the level of Mark Wallace on your channel!

  • Former print reporter here. I remember going to sometimes remote crime scenes in AZ in the early 2000s, and if there were solo video journalists at the scene (ie, without a crew) I remember them frequently asking me to hold a blank, white page of my reporter's notebook on camera to check white balance before shooting. I vaguely understood then but now I get it even more thanks to this vid. :)

  • Great explanation. Good starting point in Lightroom. I do something I call middle of the road shooting. I will sit in the raised front seat of a tour bus and spot a well lighted scene coming off in the distance. I normally will shoot at around 55mm to miss the bus interior. Generally set my ISO at around 400 to stop movement. Watch till the main point of interest and snap at the best time. You get some unusual points of view not often seen from that position. The narrow winding roads of Italy and small town activities can be unique. To get to your point about white balance I used to compensate in Lightroom during enhancement for the tinted blue glass by nudging the Red slider over with amazing effect. Now if I click on auto white balance first it’s a better starting point that will allow me to adjust the red slider to personal taste without effecting color balance as much.Thanks for sharing that Tip.

  • Probably the BEST explanation of white balance I have seen. You are the ONLY one address the difference between "psychological" warm and cool vs "actual kelvin temperature" hot and cold. (warm psychological orange and yellow is actually COLDER on the kelvin temperature scale). GREAT JOB! Also great job explaining why adjustments towards a colder kelvin temperature turns the image blue rather than orange. You need "more blue" to compensate for the orange already in the source light. If the orange really isn't there then the image will have too much blue with that adjustment. I'm often told that I can explain things well but your explanation of this is even better!!

  • Bro look I'll keep it simple. You my man have been gifted with the ability to explain, most people can demonstrate but you are naturally inclined to explain. And the best part is that you explain things simply! Most people like cramming their videos with verbose terminology that racks the viewers brains and leaves them with more questions than answers. But I always think to myself that the best teacher is the one who can explain in the most simple way possible. Why? Because that way he can teach ANYONE.

  • Clean explanation, thanks for sharing this! I wonder, in the case of a post-processing balance, if I were to shoot a set of photos, and lastly have a shot to a balance card, so that I can copy settings from that edit to previous shots, maybe that requires that all shots are not done with automatic camera correction, but any fixed balance setting?

  • In shooting film, you have limited film choices for color balance. To obtain the proper color temp, you would use a color temp meter and apply color balancing filters on the lens for proper balance.

  • White balance is very simple and you need to start explaining it in this way. Firstly, your eye automatically adjusts for light intensity. This happens by the action of your pupils opening and closing, it happens automatically. Ok, well ... your brain does the SAME EXACT THING (inside your mind) when processing color that you perceive. In other words, your brain is automatically adjusting for white balance all the time. This is part of your biology and your mind, just like your pupils opening and closing. Ok, so you can be in an environment where the light has a strong color, and when you look at a white piece of paper you will see white, i.e. you will 'experience" white, because your brain interpreted it to be white. In fact, it may be green, red, blue, whatever. But your brain is set to Auto-WhiteBalance (you cannot turn it off). So, what you THINK you are seeing does actually appear white, when in fact it is an ILLUSION. That is what your BRAIN is doing, but a camera is not a brain, it's an dumb instrument, and it can see what is really genuinely there. So when you see a picture and the colors look wacky, your eyes may have been tricked to think that the light appeared to be ok ... but the camera will see the actual light as it really is. This difference proves that your mind is making this auto-adjustment. Ok ... now that you know WHY this thing exists, you can follow this guy's advice on how to adjust the cam to set white bal properly. You're welcome. By the way, the brain does this kind of weird auto-adjust for all 5 senses. Hope that helps.

    • Precisely, and when I started watching, I thought "sigh - I bet he won't explain fully how our vision auto adjusts". Thanks for the excellent explanation. Btw, I had an amazing "white balance" experience - there was a red dust storm, so naturally, my eyes adjusted appropriately. When I got into my car, the normally white dash readouts appeared significantly blue! My initial reaction was WTF?!?, but I quickly realised what was going on. 🤣

  • I usually shoot in my studio or outdoors, white balance is always easy to set, maybe a minor adjustment in post for better skin tones. But, i was hired to do a "sweet 16" birthday photoshoot, event style in someones house. Which as everyone knows usually is not an easy task to make great photography. When i got there my plan was to shoot with my flash pointed up at the ceiling. Very dim ambient light and the worst part was that their walls were painted yellow. It was a family from Ethiopia with beautiful dark skin, all of their friends and family of probably 50 people at the house were same nationality. So i set my white balance and shot naturally. Of course as you may have guessed, the yellow walls made the skin tones have a very orange color cast. I had no choice but to adjust color balance in post to make the walls of the house interior totally white. That fixed the color cast on the skin pretty much with one click adjustment. And made their house look much prettier. It was an interesting experience in post. There was no way for me to be able to avoid color cast, unless they had very good and bright ambient lighting. Which of course usually we don't in our homes. All in all they loved the images and for some reason never asked why their walls are white in the photos.
