camera lighting

Lighting

Flash: This is a short flash of light which helps illuminate a scene. It is at its best use at night or indoor photography.

Exposure: This determines how bright or dark an image will appear when it is captured by the camera. The camera settings that determine this are aperture, ISO and shutter speed.

Colour: The colour temperature describes the spectrum of light. This radiated from a blackbody with a surface temperature which is an object that absorbs all incident light. It doesn’t reflect and don’t allow it to pass through. 

White Balance: This is the process of removing unrealistic colour cast so the object will appear white and in person are rendered white. The colour temperature of a light source has to be taken into account so the warmth and coolness.

Lights: Lights are the main ingredient in a photography. There are four kinds of artificial light sources for photography. They are tungsten, fluorescent, and natural, artificial.

Fluorescent lights are used to light up public buildings and offices. They have been around for decades and aren't common in photography.

Tungsten lights use a 500 watt lamp with a colour temperature of 3200k. This is a standard white balance setting on a digital camera.

Natural light is natural light. This means when you take a picture outside the lighting is either sunlight or moon light.

Artificial lighting is everything else. So this could be you need more light, a different colour light or you might want more control over the creative purpose.
