White Balance Lab

1. Choose an area of the room and set up a scene with AT LEAST SEVEN inanimate objects (No cell phones, no stuffies, no chocolate bars…).
2. You will use a piece of white paper as your backdrop.  Set your camera to shutter priority mode (FYI setting the WB is applicable in ALL shooting modes.)
3. Locate your white balance setting in your camera’s menu.
4. Set the camera to the first type of white balance setting, focus your camera, and take the photo.
5. Continue through your settings taking a photo for each setting.

Remember you must correctly expose your photographs for them to count.

You will post all photos to a blog post titled: White Balance Lab.  You will copy and paste the information from the Example Blog Post (located below). You will replace your information with mine.
