Picking the right white balance is probably MUCH easier than you think. If you’re shooting under controlled light, it can be beneficial to use a grey card to set white balance prior to shooting. However, if you’re shooting in changing lighting conditions (outdoors), just use auto-white balance. As long as you’re shooting in RAW, there is no penalty to make adjustments to the white balance in post-processing, giving you one less thing to worry about when you’re trying to find the perfect composition.

Austin Jackson is a landscape and outdoor photographer based in Southern Utah. He loves capturing great light in some of the world’s most stunning locations. In addition to capturing his own images, Austin enjoys the content creation side of things, creating countless videos to help outdoor photographers improve their craft.
