Assignment:

You are going to be taking many pictures and turning them in.  In order to keep track of them properly, I have very specific names how I want you to rename them.  Please open and print WhiteBalance.pdf below.  

You will then use a camera and a tripod to take several pictures at various scenes with different white balance settings.

1. Auto White Balance

2. Day Light

3. Cloudy

4. Tungsten

5. Fluorescent

6. Fluorescent H

To turn them in, you will first rename the images according to the WhiteBalance.pdf chart.  Then you will create a folder with your last name, and then your first initial, and White Balance.

example:  GolskiWWhiteBalance

Put all of your images into the folder and then turn the folder in with all of the images into the Digital Photography Hand In folder.
