Tip: Color Temperature
The perceived color of a light sour
ce varies with the viewer; some may have a red cast while others
appear blue. Color temperature is an objective measure of the color of a light source, expressed in
Kelvins (K). The lower the color temperature, the redder the cast (q); the higher the temperature, the
bluer the cast (w).

Tip: Choosing a Color Temperature
In general, choose lower values if your pictur

higher values if your pictures are tinged blue or to intentionally make pictures redder.
