White balance techniques 101Indoors at this fi re truck factory
with all the building’s lights turned
off, Joe shot this truck illumi-
nated only by its own emergency
lights. He tried several different
Color Balance settings and settled
on Tungsten. You may prefer
something different, so put your
camera on a tripod and try each
of the various Color Balance set-
tings that your digital SLR offers.
Exposure was 1/45 sec at f/16 at
