White Balance

Saturday, March 5th, 2011
YouTube Preview Image

In this video,  Shane and Aaron  explain the importance of setting the white balance on your camera.

From Youtube:

White balance changes the overall mixture of colors in an image and is used for color correction; generalized versions of color balance are used to get colors other than neutrals to also appear correct or pleasing. However, in this video we are simply balancing white clubs… just watch it.

 

They then proceed to throw a whole bunch of club tricks that aren’t really possible, but for some reason everything seems to land perfect. Wow good stuff.
