prestontewell Posted July 23, 2010 Share Posted July 23, 2010 <p>First thing I do before I start shooting is set my white balance for my shooting conditions. It's by far one of the easiest, most overlooked steps amateur shooters can take to make sure their images are color correct.<br> I never leave without my collapsible grey card. Snap a pic of it, set your camera's manual white balance to the image, and start shooting. As long as your lighting conditions remain constant (you can't set it for bright daylight and move indoors without resetting the WB) your images should be true to the colors as you see them.<br> It'll save you a ton of time in post. Try to do as much editing in camera. You'll be glad you did.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joe_c5 Posted July 23, 2010 Share Posted July 23, 2010 <p>The suggestions about white balance are good ones, but in this case white balance seems to have almost nothing to do with the color of the fire truck being wrong.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ian_murren Posted July 24, 2010 Share Posted July 24, 2010 <p>I think his camera is set to "vivid". AWB is close enough and not the problem. It's the default settings of the d40 making this super blue rather than teal.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
