Understanding White Balance in Photography
Have you ever wondered why your subjects appear yellow when photographed indoors? Or why does your camera's flash make things seem blue? Understanding the notion of white balance and how it works is critical in digital photography since wrongly adjusting it can spoil a shot by adding all kinds of unwanted colour casts and making skin tones seem extremely unnatural. In this post, we will go through the fundamentals of white balance and colour temperature, which can be difficult for novices to grasp.

Most essential photography terms – part 2
In the previous issue we did an article on most essential photography terms. Continuing the same, we have the Part 2 for our readers. Photography terminologies are many and may be quite challenging for beginner photographers to grasp. However, understanding the photography phrases used to explain crucial processes can allow you to appreciate photography much more. Some technical jargon is simply that: jargon. Listening to two photographers converse makes it appear as though they are speaking a foreign language. Outside of photography, all of the technical words have little or no relevance. You will struggle to master photography, much alone have an informed discourse about it, until you understand at least the most basic of these photographic words. The more you practise, the easier it becomes, just like anything else you learn. The more you utilise photographic words and jargon, the faster they will become second nature to you.
