Memorial Day 2011 Fort Snelling National Cemetery

Remembering the Fallen, Caring for Those Left Behind. Freedom is not Free.

Image from Fort Snelling National Cemetery, Minneapolis MN.

"Memorial Day is a United States federal holiday that is observed on the last Monday of May (observed this year on 2007-05-28). It was formerly known as Decoration Day. This holiday commemorates U.S. men and women who have died in military service to their country. It began first to honor Union soldiers who died during the American Civil War. After World War I, it expanded to include those who died in any war or military action. One of the longest standing traditions is the running of the Indianapolis 500, which has been held in conjunction with Memorial Day since 1911."

Use your color histogram to correct your white balance

Use your color histogram to correct your white balance

Have you ever noticed that when you are shooting an image, you look at the image on your screen on your camera and you notice right away that the colors do not look right? You know, they are too blue or too red or whatever. Yes you can run into this situation even when you are shooting with a camera that has a great auto white balance setting. As you get more and more careful with the quality of your images and when you want to capture super high quality images the first time so that you can limit post production edits. So how do you fix this color issue which is a white balance issue?

Did you know you can use your color histogram on your camera to help you set white balance very close to perfect every time. To do this I recommend that you actually figure out how to manually set the custom white balance setting on your camera. Hold on now, it really is easy. Most cameras have an auto setting and then several settings for situations weather that be indoor lighting, cloudy etc. But, most cameras also have a custom setting that allows you to set the temperature of the light that you are shooting. Honest, this really is easy, you just need to play with it just a little bit and make it part of your workflow so that you do it every time you are shooting or at least every time you want to be perfect.

Take a gray card or some neutral color object and capture a shot of the grey card. Now, look at your histogram for the image. You can see a spike in the red, green and blue histograms when you shoot this gray card. If the spike in all the three histograms is at the same place, then the image is neutral and the color temperature is set correctly. Otherwise, you will need to adjust the custom color temperature setting for your camera. Yes you can also set to one of the built in white balance settings in your camera and you will get a close approximation of the correct color temperature for the lighting situation. For example, if the blue channel is much towards highlights, then the scene is too much bluish and you should adjust the color temperature or white balance accordingly.

See that is all that there is to it, simple right? Your colors should be much closer to perfect from here on out.

I would appreciate your feedback on this article and ideas for other articles in the future.

Happy shooting
