    That’s why I still shooting film on 2024 , and I can control my light temp , thank you for sharing , great job!
  • @westwood2678
    Bro look I'll keep it simple. You my man have been gifted with the ability to explain, most people can demonstrate but you are naturally inclined to explain. And the best part is that you explain things simply! Most people like cramming their videos with verbose terminology that racks the viewers brains and leaves them with more questions than answers. But I always think to myself that the best teacher is the one who can explain in the most simple way possible. Why? Because that way he can teach ANYONE.
  • @TheTrueJNR
    Mark is probably THE most understandable online tutor i have seen in a long time. Always great to see Mark!
  • @michaelcase8574
    In shooting film, you have limited film choices for color balance. To obtain the proper color temp, you would use a color temp meter and apply color balancing filters on the lens for proper balance.
  • @user-ii8iz7hx1y
    Well for a long time I could never grasp how to use White Balance,, that is until now!. Your teaching is right on point and I can say now that I actually have got the concept and feel with confidence I can apply this to my Photography. Thank you.
  • @vtct_ytaa
    we can therefore prove, that shadows are hotter than direct sunlight. all jokes aside, mark, your tutorials are always wonderful and to the point.
  • @jcnavarrog
    By far, this is the best explanation I have seen about the WB, not only because of its accuracy but also because it is done in a technical and irrefutable way..... thanks, excellent work.
  • @DianneCarrington
    Mark, probably the first time I have been vaguely close to understanding white balance. I have updated my Notifications to ALL videos. I also appreciated your warm and professional relationship with Teresa. She totally supported you in what you were trying to explain. What a great team you two make. I'm all for a Mark & Teresa Understanding Camera Settings series
  • @jasoncoopersmith
    You have a new subscriber. Thank you so much for this video! I’ve been dying for someone to explain the technical bit for me. Keep it up.
  • @itmamhasan
    Great video!! Thank you so much!! To be honest I was struggling with White balance a lot because most AWB feature in budget cameras are not very reliable I've tried this custom WB with normal white paper and it works I'm really grateful
  • @ricaa50
    Thanks Mark. Great explanation
