Unless, of course, you help your camera by white balancing!īear with me while we get nerdy for a second, because I think it's important to understand how we measure color (or light) "temperature." Temperature is measured using something called the Kelvin Scale. Every light source emits light with a unique hue and that hue is measured in degrees Kelvin (which is abbreviated as "K"). While your eyes are able to visualize a piece of white paper as true white EVEN if your lighting has a yellow hue, your camera will see the paper as yellow due to the yellow color that the light is casting on it. When the colors in your photo look off, it’s not you, not your camera, not your Surface, it’s YOUR LIGHT! This is because every light source has a distinct color and "temperature" (ranging from cool to warm) which leads to different hues in your final photos. Before we can select the correct lighting and choose the correct camera settings, we need to understand the concept of color "temperature" so that we can identify when the whites and colors in our photos look off.
