White balance (26.11.21)

 This week, we learned how to adjust the white balance on our cameras for different lighting scenarios! 

The Early Childhood Development and Education students on our campus set up a "wellbeing" tree for one of their modules. I really liked this little guy having a hell of a time, so I took a photo of him. This is the edited version, I tried to tone down the reds of the photo so that the man stood out a bit more, this was done using the colour mixer in Adobe Bridge Camera Raw.
This is the unedited version of that photo.

I chose to upload this photo since I liked how bright the white was against the greens and browns of the trees. I achieved this by using the "measure" function on my camera. This helped me to get a good white balance without too much fiddling.

One of the tasks we were assigned involved us finding primary colours in nature. I wasn't able to find all three colours together, however  I think the mix of red and yellow is really nice, it kind of makes the shot look like a video game with how solid the colours are, and the definitive shapes of the flowers on each plant.

This is my second edited image. I don't think there's much difference, however I still think the image looks better edited than not. I tried to make the picture less red once again, using the colour mixer in Adobe Bridge Camera Raw. I also like the angling of the photo, it kind of gives the shot a chaotic, or even wacky feel.
This is the unedited photo.
