5th October Studio Session - Colour Temperature

We had the task of setting custom kelvin ratings in accordance with the type of lighting we are shooting in. Below is the images with a description of what settings we used:
This was shot at F 4.5 / ISO 100/ 60th second
We used 4000K for this image but the background still has an orange tone and the 'whiteboard' is not white.
Although the camera was on a tripod it was knocked which made this photo blurred. 

F 4.5/ ISO 100/ 60th second
We adjusted the kelvin to 5500K for daylight rating which made the 'whiteboard'
white and the overall image look (colour wise) cooler.

F 4.5/ ISO 100 / 20th second
Kelvin rating 2800K
The kelvin rating on this was wrong because the image is clearly a warm orange tone and doesn't look
lit naturally. The blur is because the camera slide on the tripod after phil didn't tighten it properly.

F 4.5/ ISO 100/ 20th second
Kelvin rating 4500 K because it was a fluorescent tube light
The image looks more natural now and no orange tint

This photo was under tungsten lighting. It took us a while to work out the kelvin rating for this
but eventually found it out to be 3200K
This test was useful because you can use different kelvin ratings to make the colour temperature suit the mood you are trying to create. Also being out on location the auto settings may not preform as well as you manually changing it. 
I think that this task was good and will definitely help me in the future.
