August 24, 2011 Leave a comment



[o] Information
Subject: Small Eiffel Tower and a Milk pot.
Studio: Home Made LightBox.

[o] Camera Setting
Camera: Nikon D90
Exposure: 0.033 sec (1/30)

One of the features in the ‘almost all’ new digital cameras the you can change the White Balance colors Temperature to get colors atmosphere in your shot, In each shot of this image I changed the flash color temperature (White Balance) to get different colors and merged them all in one picture ..
starting from the left..

1. White Balance Red, Blue Coefficients = 485/256, 316/256, 256/256, 256/256
2. White Balance Red, Blue Coefficients = 422/256, 263/256, 256/256, 256/256
3. White Balance Red, Blue Coefficients = 579/256, 341/256, 256/256, 256/256
4. White Balance Red, Blue Coefficients = 411/256, 309/256, 256/256, 256/256

The result..

Adobe LightRoom is a great tool to add some light/shadow effects to the image, you may add colored lights or take the capture to the B/W channel.

The first photo is a part of the Mosque @ KATARA before any lightroom effect.
