White Balance

White balance controls the colour temperature within a photo by adjusting the levels of red, blue and green to create the most realistic light (given the situation). Darker, shaded areas are normally made up of more blue light, meaning the blue needs to be turned down and more red needs to be substituted by the camera to create white light. Artificial lights use more red light so the same has to happen, except by swapping the colours around. A good way of adjusting the temperatures is to use various gray cards as they act as a neutral reference and they are portable so you can quickly adjust the camera's balancing while in various locations.
 Most cameras come with an auto white balance feature, but the images produced do not match the same quality as those who adjust the colours manually as you can be a lot more precise with the colour mixing. Although you can set your own white balance, modern DLSRs come with many different pre-set white balance setting that can work for a variety of different lighting situations.

When it comes to white balance I feel as if I need to practice under more artifical lights as I have spent more time focusing on darker, bluer lighting situations.
