Photography Question 

Sharon Barberee 		 

Whats wrong with these Photos


 
 
Please chesk out these two photos of the same lilly. The first is straight from the camera, The second is with auto Color correction with photoshop elements. What is with the Yellow tint in the first shot ? Can someone shed some light on how to correct this ? Is it something to do with WB ?

Jon Close 		  Yes, it is probably something to do with White Balance. What were the lighting conditions and what was the WB setting?

Jon Close 		  AWB, like autoexposure, doesn't always get it right. In this case it got close enough that it could be fixed in post-processing, but better would be to directly set a pre-set WB, or use the Custom White Balance feature.

Nathan J. Patching 		  use a grey card, or Expodisc. This will allow for a custom white balance. Both are awesome.
