THANKS SO MUCH FOR WATCHING! - แนวปฏิบัติและการใช้ชีวิต
By far the best explanation of white balance I've seen yet! Thank you!
Thank you very much Sir 📸🍔🍕🥤☕☕☕☕☕☕☕
Agreed
Mark is probably THE most understandable online tutor i have seen in a long time. Always great to see Mark!
Well for a long time I could never grasp how to use White Balance,, that is until now!. Your teaching is right on point and I can say now that I actually have got the concept and feel with confidence I can apply this to my Photography. Thank you.
PHENOM video. thank you. been wrestling with this topic and you did a GREAT job teaching.
By far, this is the best explanation I have seen about the WB, not only because of its accuracy but also because it is done in a technical and irrefutable way..... thanks, excellent work.
Mark, probably the first time I have been vaguely close to understanding white balance. I have updated my Notifications to ALL videos. I also appreciated your warm and professional relationship with Teresa. She totally supported you in what you were trying to explain. What a great team you two make. I'm all for a Mark & Teresa Understanding Camera Settings series
Bro look I'll keep it simple.
You my man have been gifted with the ability to explain, most people can demonstrate but you are naturally inclined to explain. And the best part is that you explain things simply!
Most people like cramming their videos with verbose terminology that racks the viewers brains and leaves them with more questions than answers. But I always think to myself that the best teacher is the one who can explain in the most simple way possible. Why? Because that way he can teach ANYONE.
Great video!!
Thank you so much!!
To be honest I was struggling with White balance a lot
because most AWB feature in budget cameras are not very reliable
I've tried this custom WB with normal white paper and it works
I'm really grateful
You have a new subscriber. Thank you so much for this video! I’ve been dying for someone to explain the technical bit for me. Keep it up.
Mark your a great teacher. Thanks so much for sharing.
That’s why I still shooting film on 2024 , and I can control my light temp , thank you for sharing , great job!
Probably the BEST explanation of white balance I have seen. You are the ONLY one address the difference between "psychological" warm and cool vs "actual kelvin temperature" hot and cold. (warm psychological orange and yellow is actually COLDER on the kelvin temperature scale). GREAT JOB! Also great job explaining why adjustments towards a colder kelvin temperature turns the image blue rather than orange. You need "more blue" to compensate for the orange already in the source light. If the orange really isn't there then the image will have too much blue with that adjustment. I'm often told that I can explain things well but your explanation of this is even better!!
So far this is the simplest and must comprehendible video I've seen about white balance
Great video Mark Wallace its good to see how to go about correcting White Balance! Doing it in Post its always Plan B but if one can get it right from scratch its better. I am having an issue with a Canon Point & Shoot Camera, using the Pop Up Flash alone or to trigger a Speedlight and even selecting Daylight WB still gives me a warmer over all tone. I tried selecting Custom WB but then I get a slight Cyanosh tone but closer to neutral. Thanks ADORAMA for having someone of the level of Mark Wallace on your channel!
Peace be with you. Thanks for the video.
Mark is always dropping some gems! 💎
Very useful, thank you
Outstanding! Finally explained Accurately! Thanks much!
This was an excellent explanation, thank you Mark.
The best explanation with example I've ever seen
APPRECIATE THIS VIDEO...great tips for COLOR BALANCE!
Informative, super helpful, and clearly presented. Thanks Mark!
This was great. Thank you so much for this!
Extremely informative. I have a better understanding of how each work on each setting.
I have always kept it on Auto White as it was always best from what I've studied and viewed by others.
I have had issues with night suits with low lighting lighted with Iridescent lighting.
My God, this is a great video that I'm looking for long time ago.
Many thanks for your time to post this video.
👍
Thank you, just what I was looking for. Very helpful
Excellent explanation Mark as always very informative
Former print reporter here. I remember going to sometimes remote crime scenes in AZ in the early 2000s, and if there were solo video journalists at the scene (ie, without a crew) I remember them frequently asking me to hold a blank, white page of my reporter's notebook on camera to check white balance before shooting. I vaguely understood then but now I get it even more thanks to this vid. :)
Thank you so much for this video. It was very helpful! 👍
Great explanation.
Good starting point in Lightroom. I do something I call middle of the road shooting. I will sit in the raised front seat of a tour bus and spot a well lighted scene coming off in the distance. I normally will shoot at around 55mm to miss the bus interior. Generally set my ISO at around 400 to stop movement. Watch till the main point of interest and snap at the best time. You get some unusual points of view not often seen from that position. The narrow winding roads of Italy and small town activities can be unique. To get to your point about white balance I used to compensate in Lightroom during enhancement for the tinted blue glass by nudging the Red slider over with amazing effect. Now if I click on auto white balance first it’s a better starting point that will allow me to adjust the red slider to personal taste without effecting color balance as much.Thanks for sharing that Tip.
Thank you for explaining white balance in a language that I understand.
Thanks for doing such a great video about white balance.super helpful for me ...

Great video! Super clear explanation. Thank u!
🤩Thank you so much. Such a valuable lesson
Wow!!! What an explanation. Thank You
Excellent lecture on white balance. Fully understood,.
Thanks Mark. Great explanation
Such a big help for me..thanks for doing such a great video about white balance..
Thanks for this video, it really helps me a lot figuring out how to set th white balance. Superb tutorial!
we can therefore prove, that shadows are hotter than direct sunlight.
all jokes aside, mark, your tutorials are always wonderful and to the point.
I enjoyed your white balance settings. I learned more. Thank you!!
A good teacher, illustrating so nicely in a easy understable way , fantastic, Thank you so much for this way of presentation. so clear, really enjoyed with this technique of teaching, very nice. encouraged to subscribe.
!
Hello my dear friend!
I've just met the correct explanation of the color temperature... Thank you very much. It is very accessible and with examples. I especially liked your schedule.
I will definitely take up "arms"! It is very convenient, if you train a little, you can set it yourself manually, without any devices, without a white balance filter and without a gray map...
;)
Thank you very much.
.
Good job
More of these Mark videos needed👌
a fantastic demonstration
Best video on the topic I have seen. Thank you so much!!

This video is so mindblowing to me. Good explanation :)
elegant and clear!!
i totally understand now omg thank you
Brilliant ❤ Awesome video ❤ Super informative ❤
Excellent Mark 🙏👌👌👌
Very informative! Thank you.
Hi Mark , greetings from the UK … I’ve been an educator for 40 years and this is the best explanation of WB I’ve seen . Many thanks . Very clear , well paced and informative . 🙏
Thank you! I've just gotten used to it being "backwards" just like you get used to using a rudder or outboard motor being "backwards" from a steering wheel. Temperature slider makes so much more sense now!
This channel is great! Subscribed.
Very good. I learn and enjoy you videos. They work. Thank you.
In shooting film, you have limited film choices for color balance. To obtain the proper color temp, you would use a color temp meter and apply color balancing filters on the lens for proper balance.
Oh God I’ve been waiting for this video , from a long time . I just miss at white balance every time 😕 . There are many videos but i only understand what adorama teaches 😁📸
Me too Ms 🥰 I'm waiting for this video, because I need to learn about white balance
Me too
Powerful video!
Very informative! I had no idea so thank you for the video!
very well explained!
Thank you mister.
Thank you.
Nicely done!
Clean explanation, thanks for sharing this! I wonder, in the case of a post-processing balance, if I were to shoot a set of photos, and lastly have a shot to a balance card, so that I can copy settings from that edit to previous shots, maybe that requires that all shots are not done with automatic camera correction, but any fixed balance setting?
Excellent video.
Wowwwww!
Thank you Mark!
Thank you! 👍
Very good... very easy Thanks!!!
thanks Mark and Teresa.
You're great tea, Sir. And Teresa has great smile.
Well done.
Good explanation of white balance and yes, Teresa is a very good model.
Fantastic video!
Excellent 👍
Thank you 👍😄
I know this isn't related to the video, but great studio space you've got there!
Very nice explanation
Wow great teacher thank you
Hi Mark . Thank you for all your efforts and shared knowledge. I have a question: this white card and the gray card, are they used for the exact same thing?
How do you adjust the white balance when shooting infrared color or infrared black & white with a non-converted digital camera and a 720nm filter or a 950nm filter?
Best ❤❤❤❤❤❤ informative video ma am
Great video
I usually shoot in my studio or outdoors, white balance is always easy to set, maybe a minor adjustment in post for better skin tones. But, i was hired to do a "sweet 16" birthday photoshoot, event style in someones house. Which as everyone knows usually is not an easy task to make great photography. When i got there my plan was to shoot with my flash pointed up at the ceiling. Very dim ambient light and the worst part was that their walls were painted yellow. It was a family from Ethiopia with beautiful dark skin, all of their friends and family of probably 50 people at the house were same nationality. So i set my white balance and shot naturally. Of course as you may have guessed, the yellow walls made the skin tones have a very orange color cast. I had no choice but to adjust color balance in post to make the walls of the house interior totally white. That fixed the color cast on the skin pretty much with one click adjustment. And made their house look much prettier. It was an interesting experience in post. There was no way for me to be able to avoid color cast, unless they had very good and bright ambient lighting. Which of course usually we don't in our homes. All in all they loved the images and for some reason never asked why their walls are white in the photos.
Beautiful💯💯💯💯💯
I changed the settings on my camera from WB to PRE and my photos are so much better and natural with the colors
Yes, seen a lot of videos explaining white balance. None as clear as this one. 👍🏻👍🏻
Thanks so much for this!! Really, really helpful! Question: is it better to use a white card or 18% grey card for white balance?
Thanks Mark for such an informative video.Question Can A custom white balance be used say in sunset/Landscape photography
Good excellent
Good job
so if im using 3 point light setup at a studio, it doesn't matter which kelvin temp im using as long as my white balance is correct, and then no matter which kelvin temp im using it will still always be the same ?
Awesome
Thank you!
I have four Canon 250D cameras that I use to shoot live music videos. There's no custom WB in Kelvins. Only as you showed in this video, using the custom picture. Please advise how to set the correct WB for all cameras to match their pictures
