    Question on white balance


    1. Google "photography white balance" and save a white balance chart to your own blog that shows the difference in color temperature. (Hint: it should have KELVIN values)
    1. Define White Balance 
      1. the color balance on a digital camera.
    2. List the WB settings on your camera and define them.  For example in the AWB setting, your camera assesses the scene and chooses an appropriate WB setting somewhere between 2000-10000 K.  You should have several other WB settings.
    3. JPEG vs RAW - what does the author say about shooting in JPEG vs RAW?
      1. Raw is when you do not change the white balance setting, uncompressed file so many more options you are editing
      2. JPEG this is where you are able to change the white balance setting, compressed file and you cant really edit 
    4. What is magic hour in photography?
      1. Is a period shortly after sunrise or before sunset during which daylight is redder and softer compared to when the Sun is higher in the sky.
    5. Which white balance setting cools your scene (makes it more blue?)
      1. Day light cloudy option. Usually with a high K value 
    6. Which white balance setting warms your scene (makes it more orange?)
      1. Candle flame or domestic light, most likely has a low K value 
    7. What is tungston light?
      1. adds blueish tinge to the photo, it enhances the light.

    Collage

    • Describe how you made this artwork. (What steps did you take to create it?)
      • To make this photo I looked for things that can connect together and create something better than it was. I wanted to make the place I was taking a of photo look better, I had to look for an area which had a lot of elements in it. In the picture we have people and nature combined together. 
    • What was easiest/hardest?
      • The hardest was fitting every picture together, it was like pieces in a puzzle. Sp putting the pics together was the hardest.   
    • How is color, line, shape, texture, space used in your artwork?
      • Line connects everything to together, I used a lot of space in photo which I believe makes it look better. I didn't use a lot of shape and texture.
    • What were you unsure about?  What was frustrating?
      • I was very scared of how this would really turn out. I was unsure about how smooth it was going to be and it went better than expected. 
    • What would you add?
      • I would put more of a field in the pitch, the photo goes from the field to the sun really quickly and if I did it would look better.
    • What have you learned from creating the art piece?
      • That you could make a place better if you take it apart and put it back together. 
    • Are you happy with the final result?  Why or why not?
      • Yeah I was better happy with my final work, I am proud of the work I made. If it was smoother then I would be a little bit happier.
