Color temperature, color balance, and White Balance are fundamental concepts that every photographer must understand in order to control the color of a photograph at the capture stage. People new to photography, digital or traditional, often have a difficult time visualizing what these terms refer to. Even those who are familiar with these terms may not have a clear understanding of how they all work together.
In addition to understanding White Balance as a basic photographic concept, it's important to be familiar and comfortable with the unique settings and controls of the camera that you happen to be using.
This lesson takes a look at color temperature and White Balance on a conceptual level and then shows how to apply these concepts using the Olympus E-3 digital SLR. This camera offers a variety of advanced and innovative White Balance settings, giving you many options for working with color temperature.
