Assignmeny 4 - White balance 1

White balance is a color adjustment that ensures that white things appear white and it is able to tell your camara what colour light you are working in. There are diffrent kinds of light and they affect the way colours are shown on an image. Unlike the human eye, digital camaras can't automatically adjust to compensate for variations in the colour of light, potentially causing unnaturally coloured images but by changing the white balance settings to the appropriate setting you will get a natural coloured image. A cameras white balance has to take into account the "color temperature" of a light source, which refers to the relative warmth or coolness of white light. Colour temperature is measured in kelvin.
I have taken some images using diffrent white balance settings to see how white balance can change the mood of an image and make it feel diffrent. I used a Canon EOS 550D on TV setting  with a stutter speed 1/8.

    Daylight(Approx, 5200K):  This image looks natural because i have taken the shot using the daylight setting in daylight. It looks like it is a sunny morning in the image. 


Shade(Approx, 7000K):  The colours in this image look warmer and inviting and i think this image gives the bench a bright and happy feeling. 
 Cloudy(Approx, 6000K):  The colours in this image are still warm but i think they have a misty look to them.
   Tungsten (Approx, 3200K): This image reminds me of them cold winter mornings, There is a blue tint which makes the image look colder
Fluorecent (Approx, 4000K): This image looks very bright and white.
