Hi Karl
Many thanks for your time in teaching us photography. Do you do a video on the edit of this image? On the back of the camera it looked a lot more orange than in the final images.
Thanks Ed
Hi Edwin, there is no post production class on this shoot but there are plenty of others in our post production section. The change in warmth on this was by simply adjusting the colour balance (WB temperature) on the RAW file which is covered in other post production classes.
Thank you.
Good morning Karl, It was a lovely photo shooting; thanks for show how to shot in natural light. My question is as follow: Why do you increase the °K to 6500? I am seeing that the color range to get orange and red are around 3500 – 2000 °K … Increasing more than 6000°K you will get blue…
Best regards

Hi Francisco, it’s the opposite when changing it in the camera as it compensating for the colder temperature and making it look warmer.
