Project # 3/test on White balance

 Project # 3/test on White balance

 Balancing both design and lighting:

Use Focos app for WB function

Android - https://baixarapk.gratis/en/app/1274938524/focos

iPhone - https://apps.apple.com/us/app/focos/id1274938524

Project # 3:

take 2 or more items (making sure 1 of them has white color)

place them so the composition is balanced.

then under different types of lighting we will "test" the correct WHITE Balance (WB)

 demonstrate visual balance, or unity ( more than one subject) under different light. (color white must be present for White balance).

 
 

Monday: 

Update your Photo album with correct numbering and label with descriptions.
#52- AWB under yellow light bulb + observation (0)
#53 -MWB (incandescent) under yellow light bulb + observation. (-1000)
#54 - AWB under LED light + observation (0)
#55 - MWB (fluorescent) under LED light + Observation (+1000)

Tuesday:

Write up: 

1.How did you create this artwork ( element or Composition wise )?

2.what lighting did you use? 

3.How did you determined the correct exposure in picture # 51? (ISO bracketing)

4.What is White Balance and how did it affect the appearance of "white" in your artwork?
