White Balance and Color Temperature Crash Course - Digital Photo Secrets

White Balance and Color Temperature Crash Course - Digital Photo Secrets: "Have you ever taken a photograph inside your house only to find that your picture had an eerie yellow tint that made your subject look jaundiced? The reason for the weird tint is caused by the naturally warm hue (color temperature) of the incandescent light bulbs which are common light sources in homes. Likewise, if you have ever taken a picture in a store or doctor’s office, your photograph probably had a blue tint to it; this is caused by the cool color temperature of a row of florescent lights. We don’t see the light’s color because our eyes have the ability to filter out the tint but our cameras aren’t as highly evolved as our eyes and often need our guidance to help create the proper white balance."
