Balance

One of my favorite topics over the past years has always been balance - my instant messenger icon is usually a yin-yang, I've done ballet, and pulled a double-major through undergrad....balance is a key. This was highlighted during one of my recent photography classes where we discussed White Balancing. The new digital cameras all get create their own reality of what color 'white' actually is, which then sets off a whole chain of events on the rest of the color spectrum. The balance part though still comes through because as you change the definition of 'white' you also compromise on other colors. Set your white balance to 'flourescent' to minimize the tint of interior lights and you'll end up emphasizing the greens of the same picture. This can be useful in some situations, harmful in others and just 'interesting' for some portion of the time. Using the balance to your favor is the skill I'm supposed to be working on - so check out these shots of the coastline and see where your balance finds you.
