As you can see it's horrible. But was I worried? Nope, not one bit. It's easy to fix, and there are two ways to do it. 1. Change your white balance in your camera 2. Fix it in post I opted for #1 but my best shot happened to be my first one, before a custom WB was set on my camera. No worries. First, I had to take a picture of a neutral density. I carry a set of cards with me so it's usually no problem. Here is my original shot of my neutral card:
Now the best thing to do is to use this shot and set your camera to a custom WB by pointing to it, and I did that. But remember that my best shot happened before this. In Aperture (or Lightroom, PhotoShop, whatever) I set my white point to the gray card, and that gave me this pleasing, corrected colorful shot:
I simply lifted the adjustment on that shot and applied it to my horrific rose shot and look at the magic that happened:
Yay for the custom white balance! This is my most dramatic example to date of what setting a correct white balance can do for you. As I said it's standard practice for me now at all shoots.
