IMHO you are right, for the newbie who just takes his memorycard to the drugstore to get some prints or uploads them to somewhere, white-balance is a thing that really matters.

And for the more advanced photographer I think it’s better to do it right in the first place.

Great article!

1. Great write-up… I want to eventually get a much better camera and really learn to use it.

2. Whyyyyy are you drinking Twinings? If you send a mailing address via email (monkey at brandice dot net), I will send you good tea. I can’t be a tea podcaster and allow such a spiffy person to drink such tea in good conscience… lol. ;)

Good post. It’s also great to be reminded how the rules for good photography are so close to the rules for good videography. (I do video production for a living.)

P.S. Love your blog BTW! :)

Sometimes the semi-auto modes (P, A and S) can get close to what you want but be a little over or under exposed.

My one piece of advice would be to not be afraid of using exposure compensation to correct this. It’s a lot quicker and easier then switching to fully manual (M) and trying to get it perfect that way.

I used to think going fully manual was a kind of goal that as an amateur I should aspire to. Now I realise it’s just a mode that has it’s place when I need it.

If I may put in a shameless plug for my Camera Works series, which explains why focal lengths work the way they do, why f-stops have those numbers, and such things:

Hi Mostly Lisa,

Can you please write a tutorial that will help me cut someone out of a picture? I have a nice picture that my friend took when I was the usher at his wedding, but the girl in the photo with me is really ugly and was my girlfriend at the time but now is not my girlfriend because she’s such a cow. I would like to use the photo for Facebook so I just need to cut out her ugly lying face.

P.S. I love your photos!
