Color temperature


One of the most powerful tool for digital capture is the control over color temperature. No longer we as a photographer needs to decide ahead of time which type of film to use for which capture, and this is not for the sake of convenience, it is for control.
This picture, taken with Hasselblad H3D39 with HC 50-110, ISO setting at 100, exposed for 1 second. The use of lighting was interesting.
In this shot, I want to produce a somewhat fantasy atmosphere, so I simply use the fluorescent light inside the band practicing room and leaves the door open to allow the nature outdoor light flood in to burn the edge of the body of this lovely Brazilian model, Layssa. I adjusted the color temperature for the indoor lighting that result the nature light to appear blue, without using any filter of gel, it was all available and using it with right setting of color temperature.
