How to White Balance Indoors--Kelvin vs. Florescent lighting for beginners.

Hey... I decided I better start blogging.  I was waiting for something really interesting to tell everyone.  The truth is, the really interesting stuff is above me to share.  What I mean by that is, I'm shooting "b camera" for my husband (of wonderful Cinematic Wedding Story)  ... and I have a lot I'd like to share with you about using my Canon 5D for Video....  It's just that I don't know how to do the whole upload thing.... or the edit thing....  So, as soon as I get that going and I know how to get my footage up here, I 'll be sharing clips with you.

For now, I decided I'll share some of my fumbling photography with you....  I do a lot of photography for jsterndesigns.... my other design blog.  So, up first is a lighting/white balance issue I had last week.  I'm working on a serger class for Patternreview.com   While photographing my serger, and some other good stuff I noticed that the pics were coming out a little "bluish"...

After fiddling around with the things I usually fiddle around with.... shutter, aperture and ISO settings... I couldn't get it right...  Then it dawned on me--WHITE BALANCE.  Sure enough, I was shooting at a Kelvin setting in my nice bright florescent room.  Switching to the florescent setting fixed it right up!
....See.   (of course if you are a photographer looking at this pic, I'm sure there are a few other things wrong with it, but I have to deal with one thing at a time!  (Played in photoshop with it later.)

Stay tuned for more b camera girl adventures with the wonderful Canon 5D!!!!  Happy Summer.
