1.  What is meant by White Balancing a camera?

• --> While the human eye adjusts easily to vibrations in light, electronic image sensors must be calibrated to the color temperature of the light source they are exposed to in order to accurately capture the color of objects within the field of view. The white balance of a camera can be set manually by shooting a white object such as a blank sheet of paper while depressing the manual white balance button

2. What is considered the "golden hour"?

• -->  The golden hour is a period shortly after sunrise or before sunset during which daylight is redder and softer than when the Sun is higher in the sky. This is the opposite of magic hour in cinematography, which is the period just before sunrise or just after sunset when light is diffuse and even.

3.  What is the color temperature of daylight, and what is its general hue?

• --> The three primary types of color temperature for light bulbs are: Soft White (2700K – 3000K), Bright White/Cool White (3500K – 4100K), and Daylight (5000K – 6500K). The higher the Degrees Kelvin, the whiter the color temperature.

4.  What is the color temperature of an interior fluorescent light, and what is its general hue?

• --> Fluorescent light has a color temperature between 3,400 degrees Kelvin and 4,800 degrees Kelvin, depending on the type of bulbs in the fixtures. If you white balance your camera under indoor 3,200 degrees Kelvin light, the picture will suddenly have a green cast and look quite ghastly. Bluish cast.
