Thanks so much for the lovely comment and glad you enjoyed the video 🙂
Great video and examples. You’ve prevented me from going down a rabbit hole. 👍🏾
Glad you found the video useful! Thanks so much for the comment 🙂
I have been using auto and adjusting in post. I will switch to daylight. Thanks.
Thanks for the comment, Alan! 🙂
Just brilliant. I watch your videos multiple times to fully integrate these invaluable tools. I especially enjoy my little cameos in your workshop images! Looking forward to Iceland.
Hey David, awesome! Thanks so much for the comment and I'm really glad you found the videos useful. David, you're practically stealing the show with those cameos. You're a star!😄 Yeah, really looking forward to seeing you again in Iceland. 🙂
Great video as always Andrea! Also, I was super stoked that I made the video at the 8:23 mark. 😎
How could I not include a clip of one of the greatest Hollywood warriors like yourself?! 😄 Thanks so much, Herbie! I hope you’re doing great 🤘🏻
Thanks, Andrea, for this great video and the great examples you provide.
Hi Odile, thanks so much for the comment and glad you enjoyed the video 🙂 Take care and say hi to Philip!
Fine explanations, Andrea! Thank you ever so much, great fun to watch, also because of your fantastic fotos!
Thanks so much! Glad you enjoyed the video 🙂
Very interesting! Good job😊
Thanks so much, Bro! 😃
Hi Andrea: Another amazing video. You have convinced me to change my WB setting to Daylight. Cheers, Keith
Thanks, Keith! 🙂
Really helpful, Andrea! And great photos to boot!
Thanks so much, Tom!
Excellent! Thanks for the video and justifying my settings. I generally always shoot in Daylight mode too. I used to switch depending on the time of day, but I just leave it there now. 😊
Thanks so much, Barbara! Long live to Daylight 😄
Excellent as always Andrea. Hope all is well with you!!
Hi James, I’m doing great, and I hope you too! Thanks so much for the comment, and glad you enjoyed the video 😃
Great details in differentiate the differences of the setting. 👍🏾
Glad you enjoyed the video! Thank you 🙂
Andrea, thanks for such a fascinating review! Awesome results 😀
Thanks so much for the comment. I've been really enjoying the Dehancer. Such a wonderful creative tool to use 😃
Hello Andrea
Another great video that also addresses a complex topic like white balance. Since I read a lot and find out about photography, but on the other hand I take photos for myself and the walls of the apartment, I stuck to it: whatever I like is allowed. As a fan of sunrise and sunset, “Cloudy” was a must for me. After this video I edited some images again and set daylight and added cloudy in some places using mask. I'm still having a hard time with the pipette. Should I click on a white or neutral spot? Thanks for the video. With regards, Erich
Hi Erich, I'm really glad you liked the video! Regarding your question, the eyedropper tool works best when you have something in the photo that's supposed to be gray or white, giving you a neutral reference point. It's important to avoid selecting areas that are overexposed or clipped, as this can skew the white balance adjustment.
Personally, I tend to skip using the eyedropper tool when shooting landscapes; I find it more useful for portraits or interior shots. I hope this helps.
I love your shots!! Very well balanced interior shots too!!!
I started using daylight WB a couple of years ago even if I have photographed commercially for over 20 years. I agree with you that it is the right thing to do as one will have a good reference point for the natural colors at the time. The colors change a lot during the day. Having burnt through 1000 rolls of film, chrome was an aha moment of learning the colors. Just using auto WB one doesn't really learn to observe the colors from my experience. I tested the other day at sunset custom white balance from a white target angled against the sunset and slightly towards the sky. A recommendation I got from Canon to achieve the true color of the sunset. I was surprised but it was actually closer to the actual sunset color. But it is more hassle to do that. I could see the subtle tonal changes of the sky color and clouds now matched very well. I wish that the camera could auto-save a custom profile the moment one fills the frame with white or 18% grey, that wouldn't be too hard, would it ; )). I couldn't agree with you more that achieving true colors are difficult. So quest continues ; )
Thanks so much for the comment and glad you enjoyed my work. Much appreciated! It sounds like you've had quite the journey with photography :) White balance-wise, for my photography style and color consistency, I found that daylight is the ideal setting to get coherent image sequences with minimal hassle in the field.🙂
Thanks for the tips!
Glad you found the video useful! Thank you very much 🙂
Great video....thanks Andrea
Thanks so much. Glad you enjoyed it!
awesome video. would you recommend manually dialing in the Kelvin and matching the colors of the landscape to the camera display? I shoot Hasselblad X2D relatively "accurate" LCD. thank you very much
Thanks so much for the comment and glad you enjoyed the video. Well, as I discussed in the video, my favorite approach is setting the WB to Daylight. Being too picky on tweaking the WB in the Kelvin mode doesn’t provide any additional benefit. You can easily make those fine adjustments directly in post.
Awesome, really interesting.
Thanks so much, Frodo! 😄
Awesome video!
Thanks so much! 🙂
Good morning Andrea, what WB do you use for night shots? When have we passed the blue hour?
Thanks for the comment, Joan! When it comes to night photography, I love using a fixed Kelvin value of 3200K and adding a subtle boost to the magentas.
Ahaha... I see the audient on your desktop) We definitely need to shred together)))
Audient rulez! 😄
Hm. Will try this but is there a big difference if the daylight setting is applied in camera or in post ?
Thank you for your comment. When it comes to adjusting white balance in-camera vs in post-processing, it doesn't really make a difference if you're shooting in RAW. The main point I emphasized in the video about sticking with the Daylight preset is that it enables you to capture colors "as they are", without introducing any temperature shifts. Another advantage is that it allows you to capture the entire sequence of shots during events like sunrise or sunset, showcasing the gradual changes in light and color. While you're free to use any preset you prefer, personally, I find it frustrating when my images appear completely messed up with colors all over the place in Capture One or Lightroom. I enjoy getting a clear idea of what I got right after importing them, without needing to make substantial white balance adjustments for each shot.
@@AndreaLivieriPhoto Sounds right. I never fully get the colours of the white balance presets in Lightroom. Sometimes they are greenish other times magenta.
@@stigfloberghagenphotography Yep, the result can dramatically change based on the type of raw (Fujifilm, Canon, Nikon, Sony, etc...)
