The colour of light : Judging colour temperature 1and 2

For this Exercise 3 photographs are required.

Subject : Agness
camera 1D MKIII
Colour balance set to day light.

Photo 1 taken in Direct sun, mid day.

Not as blue as I hoped it would be, From personal experience, often mid day light can often reflect the surround. Perhaps the grey stone work gave this cool colour. If taken in a garden of green. The subjects takes on a green tint. Cast.



Photo 2: Taken about 12.30pm
In the shade . A nice soft light but lacking colour. Needs warming .


3rd Photo: Taken at sun set. Little. Diffused from some cloud. Here for sure the colour had become allot warmer then I could remember.



Judging Colour temperature 2 

This exercise is to show the use of colour correction. Using Colour balance .

As above: but this time with filter correction. 



This photo taken, mid day, day light lit in the shade with shade (cloudy filter) 
Almost to studio quality 



Although skin tone are not so orange . The light does not do the subject any justice, Much adjustment in colour, even when the camera is set to AUTO is required . However the photo looks a little greyer on here, then in the original.  Better then the one taken without the Auto setting as above .
