I was just messing around, taking some pictures of a couple new Zoanthids saw something I wanted to share.
A few days ago, I was at another members home, taking pics of his tank. While there, I set a custom white balance, from a pic of his new, WHITE sand. The pictures were still a bit off, in color. So, I settled for Auto White Balance, which never gives me a true color representation in my tanks, but seemed to in his tank.
So today, while taking some pics, I noticed the color was just slightly off and realized I still had it on AWB.
Sooo, I switched over to the Custom White Balance, forgetting that it was set to the other member's tank...lol.
WOW!! That's way off!! So, I took a quick shot at my not so white sand bed and used this photo to re-set my Custom White Balance.
Here's a very true representation of my new Zoanthid colony!! Peanut Butter Cups. Thanks Tony!!
I was amazed at the difference in color rendition, so thought I'd post this to show the importance that White Balance can play in our photography!!
