- How to White Balance! Color Temperature Tutorial!
White Balance:
We use B+W circular polarizer. They get rid of the reflections from water, windows, and most plants/green things. We use them whenever the sun is out. When buying a polarizer make sure to get the right size for the lens that you own. I feel if your going to spend the money and buy an expensive lens, it's worth spending the extra money to buy a polarizer of the same quality to match your lens, otherwise your lens won't be as clear. Plan on spending about 130 dollars US for one.
B+W 77mm Circular Polarizer

If you have a very small budget and don't have enough to buy a big/medium drone, this is an awesome option to learn how to fly for under $100.00. They have a small camera on them, I would use them not for the camera but strictly to learn how to fly.

I wish I had payed this much attention and was this excited to learn back in school, I would be a pro by now. Thanks Devin for this amazing tutorials!
Never stop these tutorials please.
I could cry. I have literally been studying you for YEARS and I could NEVER get my pictures to look half as good as yours and TODAY! It CLICKS✨✨✨ it ALWAYS starts with the light ☀️!! awwww omg thank you thank you THANK YOU for this video your work is amazing keep doing what your doing I love you!!
Loving these tutorials man. Keep em coming!
I've been through a lot of videos to find the most easy way to understand this subject, I finally understand this because of this. Thank you for this.
wow! was just about to search 'white balance' ....and i get your notification.
thanks for all the tutorials
wow!! I've been shooting for over a year now, and have never really thought about the white balance much.. very good info!! your the man for this info! thanks
You are the best instructor of WB!!! Now, I'm going to try 5600K on my Phantom 4 drone during daytime and also use a correct balance for a cloudy day.
Great video Devin. All the things you´ve been mentioning are very important.
BUT there is one thing you have´nt talked about.
When you are in a senario with mixed colortemperatures, and you are using videolights you can use diffrent colored gells to adjust the colortemperature.
For example: You have a room with a window, if you´re looking outside the window you see the sun setting. By changeing the ct. in your camera to 10000k the sunset will look more dramatic. The problem now is that everything in your room looks orangeish. To fix that you now take CTB (color-temperature-blue) gells on top of your videolight to neutralize the orange light in your room.
Finally , A tutorial that i can appreciate and say 'Thank you very much Devin' . This truly helped alot
Thanks for these great tutorials. I am learning so much from these videos!
Thanks Devin!As a starting photographer your videos have helped alot.
thanks man, i watched this literally right before i walked out the door to go take some pictures for a website, and they came out fantastic. in camera is the way to go.
Lovin' these tutorials Devin. You rock...thank you so much for taking the time. Much appreciated.
So much appreciation for these tutorials Devin!
my goodness this was what i was looking for! Thank you very much !!!
Just wanted to say: good job with the tutorials. They are great eye-openers, reminders and inspiration. Keep up the great work!
thank you smooch for the video!! they are easily the best on youtube and definitely helped me with my photography!!!
Thankful for your tutorial videos Mr. Graham!! Keep up the amazing work that you do! :)
Such good tutorials, Really clear and easy to understand!
I'm so stoked I found this channel! !!
FINALLY FINALLY someone with a TRUE SIMPLE EDUCATED way of teaching all about Kelvin! thank you sir! Also, has anyone experiment using both Godox SL60 DAYLIGHts and Lifx smart colored light bulbs on your backdrop lighting and seeing how the camera responds?
Brilliant tutorial. I shoot 90% outdoors, so, this information is invaluable, wondered what those settings were on my camera ;)
Great video Devin, all your videos are amazing on the other channel but i kinda like this one more because you've got all this knowledge and experience and when you explain these things its easy to understand and I think a lot of people agree so keep it up!
Thanks so much for this! So helpful and maybe I need to think about it for underwater photos, too.
please do something about time lapses
all stuff we used to control with filters and/or lighting. good explanation.
Thanks so much Devin! I have always had the white balance settings on auto, not knowing where to put it. After watching this video, I now have a fundamental understanding of white balance. Can't to utilize what I learned in our next shoot! Thanks Man!
Devin, I enjoyed this video as it really clarified a lot. So thank you for that! I was wondering what your thoughts on achieving certain looks in camera vs in post. For example a common thing to see in short films is cool blue-ish tones for suspenseful and or erie scenes. Is it better to get this look in post via color grading footage that was shot with a natural white balance, or do you recommend doing as much in camera as possible?
Humans don't see it like it is, we only make out a tiny fraction of light that is visible..... Our brains construct our reality based on relative information. That is why WB is always a creative choice!
Stare at an off color image or scene long enough and it will eventually seem natural. This is also why someone can have an entire career based on color grading
Great Tuto.. Now I got the clear pic about White balance because of you..thanks alot..
love these tutorials man! didnt even know polarizers were even that big of a deal! thanks man
I remember the Africa bts! that was such a great video. learned alot from you and breaking the barrier. Congrats on your engagement too!
Perfectly Explained!!! Thanks bud!!!
A very helpful tutorial. Thank you!
devin I commented before I will comment again thanks... even though I don't have equipment... I just enjoy these videos....
This was well explained! Thanks Devin
learning so much with these tutorials!! thank you devin!!
thank you this tip made a huge Improvement in my images
Great Tutorial again. Thanks Devin!
Essentially what I am learning from you is, that not only should I manually adjust shutter, iso and the blendthing - but I should play with every freaking setting on the cam to get the best look. Makes sense to me, need to get out and shoot stuff again for once, to see how much better I can do
+Tomislav Artz (Tom) Manual everything. Also means that you can get more Depth of Field from your lenses.
yes it was alot of info but you ttly laid it out perfect. it completely made sense, thank you!
Really awesome video. Great work, thanks! 😃
Awesome as always! :) Please consider doing one on manual focusing with moving subjects!
you probably could have covered cloudy and overcast as a fourth main lighting option. since the light is diffused across the shooting plane, the white balance would have to be adjusted to compensate, going as high as 6500k. also hour of the day in sunshine is also important as the Kelvin at 10AM isnt the same as the Kelvin at Noon or 2 Pm. i do like you added the flexibility to play with the white balance ranges, inviting warmth and coolness into a shoot. nice job on the video good info for beginners.
thank you!!! This is more understanding for me than what I learned in college!
Thank you!! You videos have been way helpful. Much appreciated.
Please keep doing these tutorials!! But could u please do a video on DSLR camera settings, fps settings etc!?
Really good tutorial on white balance man, learned a lot. However, would have great if you mentioned while shooting using the moons light.
Hey Devin I think you messed up on your info box, the link about white balance is missing and the part about polarizers is in there twice. Great video though!
Dude, Super informative. Keep them coming! Maybe one on Panning/ISO/Shutter etc?
Sweet stuff. this is something I struggle with in my work. I shoot homes for sellers. It turns out I get light from all sorts of sources, shade sunlight through windows, sunlight through windows, competing with tungsten and florescent lightbulbs all mixed together it makes it really tricky. Then light bounces off various different colors on walls. At any rate, I use general idea to set custom white balance in camera and can get pretty close. Then I go into my editing software and fine tune the balance using the RGB Color Parade Scope. It works but I'm filming on a 5dmii so I don't have a ton of color information in the video clip. I'm always looking for ways to better get it in the shot. I'd love to see a good tutorial on setting custom white balance using color cards.
Nice walkthrough, thanks :) Do you only use your camera lcd screen to assess if the wb is looking like you want it in camera or you use other tricks or tools?
Your winter shots are awesome looking btw, and you're doing a great job at picking the best locations. Keep being so creative and hardworking, it gives awesome results!
Thumbs up for teamsupertramp and their great job of sharing what they know.
Nice.A little correction may be that tungsten light doesn't give 3200 kelvin but it's much warmer that is yellowish light. It is the camera settings that is to be kept around 3200 kelvin (which is cooler or more blueish) to compensate that yellow light of tungsten and so on.
Man, thanks so much for these videos!
Great infos! Thanks for sharing this!
Great tutorial.
description is still about polarizer :/
It's a little nitpicky but fluorescent lamps can range anywhere from 5600K down to 3000K. Checking the writing on the actual bulb is the only way to tell for sure. Incandescent and tungsten lamps range from about 3000K to 2700K. Usually you can't tell on the bulb alone but should be on its packaging.
loving these videos
Thank you very much Devin !!!!
If you have competing lights, and can't adjust them, it's best to white balance with a grey card or Expodisk filter. Many times there are time, even outdoors where the light is effect by trees, surrounding colors, etc. Always best to white balance with a card if you have to get the color just right.
Awesome stuff Devin! Any plans for a video on how to purchase a RED camera? As in different payment plans or how most people integrate RED cameras into their work?
Awesome tutorial
Hello Master ..
U R always so inspiring... any thing regarding a Glidecam setup and operation ...
explaining the droptime, balancing, and other tips and trick ... please! :)
Thanks
Good information
I like this kind of videos of urs mr Tramp
Thanks! Please! Please!! Please continue to educate the masses on these kinds of tips.... Next up, let's tackle verticle video syndrome... Terrible disease that afflicts 2 out of every 5 people in this world...
Thanks Devin!!
Thanks Devin!
Loved it man.. Thanks
Amazing video!!!!
very helpful!!! thank you
Thank you so much for this explanation!!! What camera balancing mount was that at 8:26 ?
Davin, you are thw human being i aplreciate the most!
another dam helpful video 🙄
the*
i like how you show us examples
You should teach how to use the custom white balance setting on the Canon's.
Very nice... Thanks.
Devin... You are misspeaking when you refer to the temperature of the lights as 3200-4800-5600... These are the correction values.
this dude gets things wrong left and right.
I'm pretty sure that's wrong as well. Color Temperature refers to the light, correction value refers to what Kelvin value the camera is set to. Lights have a color temperature, not a correction value. The sun has a Color Temperature of 5600k, and the camera, in order to produce a natural looking image, is set to a Correction Value of 5600k. The reason the image gets more blue when you set the Kelvin lower, even though lights with lower Kelvin value color temperatures are warmer, is because it is correcting the light in the camera. The light doesn't correct any values, it just stays at whatever value it is, hence, having a color temperature, not a correction value.
great tip!
Love the tutorials devin! But isnt ur main camera a red camera
To me the most important thing if shooting in your house is by the daylight bulbs. The yellow lights are just a pain to put up with even with taking pictures.
Great video! Subbed!
When is the colour grading tutorial coming out Devin? :D That's the one I'm looking forward to the most. At the moment I'm not able to get a decent camera (saving up for one), so hopefully with colour grading I can make the shots look abit better! I really like the way "the candourist" and "sam evans" do their colour grading in their videos! Striving to be like them!
You cannot make a footage look better by colour grading it. In fact the result would look horrible because these very compressed videos have codecs that are not designed to be graded.
Tommy Ip Oh wow, I didn't know this! I just presumed because quite a few people colour grade their videos, it's sort of just an enhancement tool incase the footage is quite bland and washed out? So what exactly is it for? And do you know any good free programs for colour grading? :) :)
Abhay Soni Their are two parts to this, colour correction and colour grading. Colour correction is to colour match all the footage so that they all look the same. Colour grading is more of a creative process, for example: the orange/blue colour style you see in a lot of holloywood movies.
When you say the footage looks quite "wash out", that is not excatly correct. It is something call dynamic range.
In terms of free grading program, yes there is. There is a program call BlackMagic DaVinci Resolve (lite), this is one of the industry standard in colour grading. However, there is a rather steep learning curve to it. If you are using a standard video editing software (eg Preimere Pro/FCP), there are usually built in tools for Colour grading.
The color of sunlight changes quite drastically depending on the time of the day and possibly even latitude of given spot on Earth, doesn't it? So it can be anywhere in the 5000-6000K range.
Hey Devin, greatwork! I am a fan and videomaker from Brasil, current on the e-sport scenario, anyway...
So you know the rules and like to break them, but how do you monitor everything? I mean, it must be hard to decide for a 10000k wb with a poor monitor technique, do you trust the mini camera lcds? do you trust your eyes more?
How do you achieve the most of what you want on set? When are you satisfied with the look on the mini lcds? or do you work with some kind of monitor system?
hugs, you are inspiring!
will taking a photo of something white give me a more accurate tone of color when white balancing?
Great tutorial. I know it's 3 years old but maybe someone can answer this. If you screw up white balance when shooting video, can it be "fixed" with a LUT?
Your vidz are good....I mean really good 👍👍
wow this is so helpful, actually the video is so detailed compared to the rest i have watched on #youtube #devingraham keep them videos coming
Hey Devin
Can you Give a storyboarding tutorial?
PS: your Tutorial videos are my film school
When you vlog it's tricky to pick just one white balance I tend to shoot in auto just due to the changes I go through in one shot sometimes
really helpful,
but can you please make a tutorial about mixing frames ( 24 FPS with 60FPS ) for example
What about custom white balance with a white or 18% grey card?
BTW- Here's a tip for those who want more control. Magic Lantern let's you use white balance in Kelvin instead of using presets!
Hey! You never said "degrees" Kelvin.
*RESPECT*
would like to hear about focusing. thank you for sharing! :D
Thank you :)
Cool Video
wow this is powerful
