White Balance




In this assignment we were asked to change the white balance of our photos. if the photo had an orange tint, i used the tungsten effect to take out the orangish tint. if the photo was blue i used a fluorescent effect to take out the blueish tint so the whites in the photos were whiter. i realized that in my house the lighting casts an orangish color on the whites so a majority of my pictures used a tungsten effect. Since my theme is psychological inquest i took photos of objects that reflected a certain idea of humanity. For example i used a dream catcher to represent dreaming and day dreaming. That photo has a black and white effect on it. another one of my photos i took a picture of an eye to represent seeing and how important sight is in life. that photo has a blue photo filter to take out the orangish tones. and a third picture has light bulbs in it to represent ideas. like when you have an idea the lightbulb turns on. this photo has contrast and high saturation to make the photo look cleaner and clearer. i enjoyed this assignment and now i know how to make my photos look better and have the whites be whiter.
Here is my link to snapfish of the rest of these photos!!
