I’ve learned more about color temperature, white balance, and lighting from your channel in the last couple hours than I have in the last year. I’m glad I found your channel. Thank you, Brady!

Dude, you are killing it. I cannot believe you do not have way more followers, but you will. I have been shooting for 25 years and still learn things from you..

Never knew I'd really need to know lots of stuff about white balance such an underrated aspect of photography

[tommymejiaen]

Im si glad I didn’t just skip this video. I have watched soo many videos on white balance and none have been able to so simply explain white balance like you did. Thank you light master :)

Thank God somebody is teaching white balance! Thanks a lot brady. Other YouTubers are like "take this brush and click it'll adjust"

6:24 That!, that is a simple thing that none of the others say... It's really the kind of look you're working on, the kind of contrast on the WB you're looking for, that was it... Really thank you man

Excellent! I like the campfire and moonlight on the pines example. That kind of situation is exactly where white balance gets confusing, and I like your approach: find the middle ground.

I’m so glad I stumbled on this video! I just shot a video of my presentation and the colors just shifted from warm to cool and all over because my camera was set to auto white balance and adjusted based on the slides. So annoying. Now I know to just set the temp that best matches the environment. Thanks for the video very helpful!

I want to say thank you so much. I've been searching so hard for the answer to this. Two different colors and how to set the WB. You also explained it amazingly.

[danieluzelac]

Great video! It really helped me to understand, that white is more subjective than objective – in a very sensitive way. It is hard to explain, because I was very close all the time, but this video gave me the the knowledge of experience that I needed to grow. Thanks!

Thanks. I was struggling shooting night scenes in town … this helped.
