White Balance Read & Write

After reading the article on the white balance I have learned many more things about it that I didn’t know before. One of the things being that the white camera gives you really good results that you can use for pictures professionally or even starter for your own. With white balance you can shoot almost anything anywhere. That could be shooting in the sun, cloud, rain etc. When shooting in color temperature it really just produces the color based off of the temp. of the lights in the picture for example. With white balance shooting in a sunny scene would work more like in mid-day. Shooting in a shady place would work in places like under the tree for example. If you want to shoot somewhere cloudy it could or would be when there are forecasting events. Then if you would rather shoot white-balance in flash you would be better off using pop-flashes or anything similar to that. shooting in incandescent or fluorescent would result in you shooting in indoor scenes with warm light bulbs.

Jpeg. VS Raw

  1. The main difference between the both is that JPEG images come out already processed so they can be transferred quicker, where as to the RAW images take time to factor and process out into a JPEG or even a PNG or TIFF.
  2. Usually a RAW file could be up to 6 times larger than a JPEG file.
  3. Yes you can change the RAW file to a JPEG. Once after capturing the image you would need to wait for the little process the computer does after switching the photos from a camera to a computer and then be able to go on the RAW file switch and save it as a JPEG instead and then save it back to your files, after that your photo will be switched and you can proceed to use it.
  4. They both have their benefits because a professional shooting in RAW it would benefit them more since it captures more detail in the photo and would be way easier to edit later on, where as to shooting JPEG also has it’s benefits on shooting smaller files than RAW and being able to get more captures as well as be a completely faster when transferring files. Therefor i would really say it’s up to how the photographer likes shooting.

Aaron Siskinds’ work is the type of work you would go looking for with a much more soothing background or something interesting. I think his artwork is more of a unique platform rather than a “historic” or “Colorful” things. I think him making his artworks just black&white makes us others as much as maybe himself, see the REAL to the world, the REAL to what really is in the picture for example these rocks, the texture really pops out as well as little details you maybe wouldn’t see and pay attention to if it was colorful as the way the rocks are set up.
