Understanding White Balance


As a digital photograher, understanding white balance is important to be able to take better photos with the right colors under a wider range of lighting conditions by avoiding color casts created by your camera’s Auto White Balance (AWB). Cambridgeincolour.com have a very useful tips and tricks article for understanding white balance.
