Why your photos look DULL and FLAT on your camera's screen...

- If you've ever been shooting and noticed that the image on the back of your camera's screen looks flat and desaturated, this may be the reason.
I can't tell you how many times I've been out, and I've looked at the back of another photographer's camera screen to realize just how flat my image looks. It turns out that the white balance may be the culprit.
Most of us (myself included) use auto white balance, allowing the camera to pick the white balance for each shot. While this may work great for some images, the camera may struggle occasionally. Yes, you can easily change this in post-processing, but who doesn't want to make their photos look better on the back of their screen? I won't lie; it can be pretty discouraging when you feel like you're in a fantastic location, and the auto-white balance destroys the scene.
Again, changing the white balance in the field won't "bake" anything into your image, and it can easily be adjusted after the fact. But doing this helps you better understand what the final image will look like by correcting the white balance in the field as needed.

Imagine turning on SLOG3 without noticing 😂
Right?!
As a beginner I just leave it at auto cuz I’m not well educated on WB and I fear I might ruin the photo if I alter the WB.
Now that the semester is ending I’ll try to learn more in areas I tend to avoid in photography
As long as you’re shooting in RAW, you don’t have to worry about ruining the image. White balance is totally adjustable in post.
As he said, WB is able to be changed in post if you're shooting in RAW format. However a very barebones basic overview of WB, 3200K is for tungsten lights, so say you're shooting at night in your room with very orange lights, that's 3200k. Daylight is 5600k, then for evenings it's always trial and error, I find 5800k to 6400k being a good spot for those evening night shots when it reaches that dark blue/purple hue in the sky.
carry a piece of paper around with you (the more cumpled the better) and whenever the light situation changes you just go into your white balance setting and most brands (if not all) can set the white balance then... white balance just describes the color temperature at which white is white... sunlight for example is warmer than artificial light... so in sunlight things will look more orange and in aritifical light things will look more blue... Takes 3 seconds to set and it's always better to do in camera than in post especiall for video work but also in photography
@@GhostStealth590 it's absolutely not trial and error.... god... literally every half decent light... and i'm talking lightbulbs you buy at walmart will even have the color temperature on there... and you should absolutely not mix color temperatures except if you know what you're doing... sunlight also doesn't change color temperature you maybe want to take a class on light and how to work with it... it's called photography
@@LoFiAxolotl Get the hell off your elitist pedastle. 5600k is too purple for my liking in the evenings, I know it doesn't change but it doesn't change the fact I want my WB neutral instead of the harsh blues and purples. Piss off with your grandstanding. You're not hot shit.
It changed when i bought a nikon
Why’s that?
Flat refers to the lack of vibrance... White balance doesn't change the vibrance just the tone of colors.... White balance can NEVER make your pictures look less flat or more vibrant...
It definitely does for me!
I think what you are trying to say it's the perceived tonal flatness, what you showed in the example of changing the wb and tint is moving the center point of both into different place thus giving the image a more warmer tone instead of cold tones, it's basically preferences.
100%. Flat is a picture profile deal, not color temp.
Bro lives at window 7
Huh? 😂
@@AustinJamesJackson the place you took the photo is one of windows 7 background lol

Wow 😮 nice 😃👍
Thanks!
Nice tips. Subscribed!
Thanks for the sub!
Or just learn to different color temperature of different lighting scenarios both outside and inside - It's literally like six numbers, It's not hard to learn.
Sure! But telling someone who is new to “just learn” something, is not very helpful.
or just go Fuji and bake a nice recipe for photos that dont need to be fiddled with in lightroom and is a ready to share JPEG/HEIF ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
