I have a lot of trouble with white balance. My photos have a real blue tinge, although I use the auto WB. Hopefully after I've digested this lesson I will avoid the blue tinge. I really appreciate these posts. Thanks Todd and Diane. I’ve spent the weekend reading through the lessons so far. I have a lot of trouble with white balance.

Even though I calibrate my camera to a custom white balance, the trick for me is to keep the same color tones consistent through a series of photographs. I discovered that at times, I prefer cool tones and at other times, I prefer warm. They look fine individually, but when you put them into a collection, it just looks messy and unfocused. Any suggestions on how to easily reinforce consistency? This post is quite helpful!

I have worked behind the camera for many years, always getting impatient as the DP and his gaffers took all the pre-shot time setting lights(so art department had 2 minutes!). Now that I am doing the shooting on my new blog, I have a new respect for the work... your posts have made it all seem so simple! Now if I can just apply it to the camera!!! Thanks again.

Sometimes I do love the warm tone I get from photographing under tungsten lights - I like my lighting in my life warm -- why not my photography? It works better IMO for people shots or documenting an event than it does for still lifes.

I guess I just need to memorize the time exactly when the lightning is my house is perfect! Auto white balance on my camera doesn't always get it right. Looking forward to your custom white balance chapter!!!

I have a campact camera from a year, but I understood the basic concepts from a month (thanks to your VERY CLEAR expanations ;-) Next week will arrive my first used DSLR, so I will play and experiment all the theoretical constructs! I will appreciate if you take a look at my photos (http://www.flickr.com/photos/29353180@N03/) and criticise them. I want to know what are my errors! Are you going to publish a post about composition rules? Thanks again! Nico PS: sorry for my bad English, I'm Italian. ;-) I want to give thanks to you for your photography post.

I'm upgrading from a Rebel soon, so this is good to know... I wonder if there is some sort of numeric measurement for white balance sensitivity between cameras? Really!

Question - what do you think of those color checker cards? Someone mentioned them at BlogHer, but I don't remember who it was.
