Photography tips and tricks – About Kelvin Scale in white balance settings.

Kelvin scientifically refers to the scale related to temperature but here it defines the color temperature chart. The above figure shows the measurements of colours in kelvin ranging from blue to red. So you can decide the colour of your photos by setting the Kelvin scale in your white balance settings. Use the scale according to the background colour and lightening. Suppose you are taking photos in the morning, you can set the scale in the blue range to cope up with the light available and if evening then you can try the yellow range such as 3000-2000 to get good images. You can try all the scales in all natural or tungsten or whatever you chose and feel the effect. If you want to get the sunset view you can use ranges in blue as yellow will diminish the effect of sunset on your photos. Of course there are a lots of things to do with your kelvin.
