#4 White Balance

Feb 9, 2025 10:20 PM

Chances are, the back of your camera has a button that says “WB” which is White Balance.  We all notice different light sources cast shades of light.  Remember, sunlight is made up of all the colors of light.  The ones we can see are represented by a rainbow.  Bright daylight includes the blue end of the spectrum; sometimes the blue is more filtered such as sunrise and sunset.  So sunset shows more of the yellows and reds.  At the store, I can buy light bulbs that cast a “bright white” color that has more blue in it.  I can also buy bulbs that cast a “soft white” which is more yellow like light from tungsten bulbs.  White Balance is your digital camera adjusting the general color of the photo so white things actually appear white.

#3 ISO

Feb 7, 2025 10:17 PM

Let’s look at the top dial of your camera.  I realize the top of my Canon Rebel camera might be different from yours, but the icons are usually similar.  Here you see many settings you might have used on a point and shoot camera.  Starting far right and moving clockwise around the dial we see the automatic settings:  mine has Video; Night portraits with flash; Food or close-ups with a blurred background and extra color emphasis; Sports or fast moving objects with the ability to take many rapid photos; Flower or close-ups (what we call Macro Photography); Landscape/scenery; Portraits where it blurs the background; CA is Creative Auto for portraits where you want to blur the background and smooth the person’s skin; Flash off photos where the camera would like to use the flash, but you don’t want it; and the last automatic setting is Fully Automatic - it shows an “A +” on my camera dial. This just turns the 35mm camera into a point and shoot.  It does all the thinking for you.

#2 Shutter Speed and Aperture

Jan 31, 2025 9:42 PM

I feel like I need to start by explaining a couple of photography terms.  Shutter speed and Aperture are two important settings used by all cameras.  You don’t have to set them with point and shoot cameras or when you set your 35mm camera on Fully Automatic.  But an understanding of each term will help you expand your world of photography.
