Color Balance
flash and color temperature. Um, so we have some issues here. This these lights are 3200. Kelvin, this flash is about 5500 Kelvin. And so we were getting away with having off color temperatures because it looks good when those are nice and warm. What if we tried to get this to work where these were white and this was white light? Let's try it. So Lex is gonna come out here. So what I'm going to do is I'm going to set my white balance, and I'm going to set my white balance to flash. Okay? White balance is set to flash. I'm gonna reset my exposure. Compensation to what? It should be. All right, aperture priority mode is set. Happened. Okay, so now what we have is we have the flash, um, and the camera set to the flashes color temperature. So notice that lex has normal color, but the background those are very, very warm. Orangey lights right in This scenario actually looks pretty good, but let's do one other thing. Let's take this and we're gonna set the white balance Teoh incandescent. So...
this is gonna be set for the lights behind Lex, take that look. Now, this is sort of crazy. Lex is gonna feel a little bit sad because she's blue. This little jail here, maybe in front of this is it's called CTO. Its color temperature oranges. How I remember that, but it takes a flash and converts it from degrees Kelvin to 3200 degrees Kelvin And these air a standard little gel. So what I'm gonna do here, So I'm gonna take my flash out of that, and then I'll try to stand back where you can actually see me. I'm just putting this over the front of my flash. Just little gel. And it comes with a fancy rubber band. Hold it on. There. Now you can see that clearly she is balanced with the background, you know, getting the right jail, turning on the flash, all that kind of stuff. We'll show this one more. Now we have our color totally matched and you can see that she is the proper color and lamps behind are the proper color. Because this color temperature and this color temperature are now the same
