project 52; Tungsten light and tungsten balance

I think the interesting thing about this project is that the orange effect of tungsten lighting can be useful in some photographs and not in others.


The best of this series is the third one, the exposure is right for the subject, the light source is overexposed. The next shot is o.k too. This problem of showing the light source and the subject is found in outdoor lighting too, like on a cloudy day where the luminance of the sky is much greater than the ground.





daylight, tungsten, tungsten with flash. I prefer the last one.

white balance on daylight and then on tungsten. I prefer the first one, it looks more like a wine cellar.



The first in this series is the closest to neutral, it is the highest shutter speed of the series with flash. As the exposure times get longer the colour starts to turn slightly orange.
The above were taken using a flash with the white balance on tungsten..



All of the above were taken with no flash and the white balance on tungsten.


The above were taken with daylight white balance.
