![]() When using two different types of light, you can set white balance to only one of them, so one won’t be correctly balanced. The trick again is keeping an eye on your white balance. You can combine ambient light with flash. Going back to what I was saying about flash and ambient light… For consistency you’ll have to adjust the white balance on each photo, because auto white balance constantly changes white balance settings during a shoot. So you may as well do it right from the start.Īnd while we’re on the subject, don’t be tempted to set your white balance to auto, because it’ll increase your time in post processing. You could adjust it afterwards on the computer, but that’s one more thing to do later. So, when photographing with ambient light, it’s really important to set your white balance for the type of light. Except, instead of green, the light will appear very yellow, even orange, in photos. The same goes for photographing indoors in low light with the house lights on. To counteract the green tinge, adjust your white balance and hey presto, the people in your photos no longer look ill. This is because most of the time the type of lights used to light a gym are probably halogen (unless they’ve been updated to LED lights). Your camera sees a scene lit by light with a greenish tinge. If for example you’re photographing a basketball game in the gym, your eyes just see a well lit gym. The color of ambient light changes according to the type of light. I wanted a very contrasty image with deep shadows, so it’s lit entirely by flash. In other words, underexposing the ambient light (a lot!). ![]() The only time it isn’t is when photographing with flash and setting the shutter speed so that the scene is recorded as black if the flash doesn’t fire. ![]() Most of the time, yes, ambient light is visible in photos. Will my photos be affected by ambient light? It’s whatever continuous light is already lighting the scene, not added by the photographer. It can be natural light or artificial light. Neon shops signs provide ambient light.The answer to the question “What is ambient light in photography?” is very straight forward – it’s whatever light is already lighting the scene before the photographer arrived and started adding light.īut if you want a more of a specific answer: ![]()
