1)While taking photographs, the photographer has to face many sources of lighting. And any source is not able to give u correct rendering of colours in colour photography...The eye is befooled by different colours in the atmosphere, either natural or artificial. We feel them as natural as when we view them...But camera sensor is not accustomed as our eyes are while we try to capture them through the lens of our camera....Colour temperature is an objective measure of the colour of a light source and distributed in different wavelengths. The camera manufacturers have wisely chalked out 'AUTO' white balance to cope up with most of the conditions. However despite this measure, the colours have different temperatures as cool or warm i.e. higher and lower colour temperatures. Light sources with a higher colour temperature will render as blue tinge, while warm colour temperature will render as yellow tinged. Therefore, for the photographers who want correct colour rendering in their pictures, the white balance options are adapted to the temperatures as below (K=i.e.Kelvin method of measuring colour temperatures)...The normal white colour rendering is during direct sunlight as at noon time (not exact morning or evening), so the flash light is well calibrated as a daylight light source which is at 5000K to 5400K...giving u almost all colour rendering as correct untill and unless overwhelmed by other strong light source as halogen lamps, which will give yellow tinge, and this either u have to correct in photoshop or while printing, not hundred percent sure to remove it..this yellow tinge can follow while shooting with slow shutter speeds and there are more powerful halogens around as in marriages.........to follow (2).
