Info on the pictures below

I posted the 6 pictures below for AK, as a lesson in white balance. I was shooting pics of mi hermana Luchy putting on her makeup, and adjusting the camera settings to see which reading of the light I liked best. I never take notes on these things so I'm not sure which settings I used for which pics. I think I like #3 the best, though it's a tiny bit dark.

White balance is basically an adjustment for the spectrum of light. So, for example, tungsten lights (from a lightbulb let's say) are in a yellow spectrum. The camera reads the light as yellow, especially in longer exposures, so you adjust the camera to balance the light back toward white in order to avoid the picture looking too yellow. Another example is fluorescent lights, which are read by the camera during longer exposures to be blue. By adjusting the white balance, you pull the camera's reading away from blue and back toward white.

Anyway, that's my lesson for the day. :)
