    I’ve learned more about color temperature, white balance, and lighting from your channel in the last couple hours than I have in the last year. I’m glad I found your channel. Thank you, Brady!

    6:24 That!, that is a simple thing that none of the others say... It's really the kind of look you're working on, the kind of contrast on the WB you're looking for, that was it... Really thank you man

    Excellent! I like the campfire and moonlight on the pines example. That kind of situation is exactly where white balance gets confusing, and I like your approach: find the middle ground.

    @alphatoinfinity777 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I’m so glad I stumbled on this video! I just shot a video of my presentation and the colors just shifted from warm to cool and all over because my camera was set to auto white balance and adjusted based on the slides. So annoying. Now I know to just set the temp that best matches the environment. Thanks for the video very helpful!

    Great video! It really helped me to understand, that white is more subjective than objective - in a very sensitive way. It is hard to explain, because I was very close all the time, but this video gave me the the knowledge of experience that I needed to grow. Thanks!

    @xdraog ปีที่แล้ว

    Enlightening! Been struggling to decide what is the right way to set white balance. Everyone I ask were saying to match the light source to have pure white. But doing some christening, doing that it just messes the overall feel of the church, and I like that warm feeling. I struggle for a while with that. What was right or wrong. This helps understand the concept of white balance more. Thanks !

    btw this was actually useful since i set my WB with a point and shoot style app. it's very accurate most of the time, but sometimes it was slightly off for what i wanted the final result to be and i finally figured out why until @ 5:30 i got so used to the app, i stopped trusting what i was seeing out of my camera.

    You should make a part II to this video but with a different scene rather the fire. White balance PT II. I’ve watched this video so many times. So so good. It’ll drill the info in to us twice over, and you can give more examples, more knowledge.
