The White Balance is one thing people don’t talk about when you are shooting is how important white balance is. When you are shooting often all you are thing about is the Aperture and the Shutter speed. White balance can become a problem when you are shooting Jpg because it is permanently embedded into the image but if you are shooting raw you can change it at a later date. I have some examples out of my D50 that show how important white balance can be…

As you can see just the slightest change can make a huge difference. Most cameras have an Auto White balance setting and that is what most people use but just like the aperture and shutter speed you some time want to set it yourself to achieve a certain effect. So when you are shooting and the colour of you images is slightly off try having a look at your white balance and change it to see if you get better results.
