We start this subject with tungsten light and for this project I have left my boys in the sitting room and went up to photo our bedroom.
At first, I was trying to see what colour is the tungsten light bulbs gives. As asked, I have looked for one minutes outside the window and then turned my head and looked inside. The colour I spotted was yellowish.
Then I tried to do a light measuring and the outcome was very very low. As you can see in the following photos the shutter speed I needed for full aperture was less than 1/1 and varied from spot to spot depend on how close I am to the actual bulb.
Here are the photos I took at my bed room using 3 different properties:
A. Normal daylight white balance and flash
B. Normal daylight white balance with no flash
C. Tungsten white balance with no flash
The photos present in this order from left to right:
From this photos I liked the 'C. Tungsten white balance with no flash' best (the photos on the right).
The 'A. Normal daylight white balance and flash' are too white for my opinion and do not reflect the real colour. 'B. Normal daylight white balance with no flash' are to yellowish and C are the one that mostly do that. They also gives warmth to the photo.
Here some more photos I took in the tungsten light:
For the last part I took 5 photos of my husband next to candle light in exposers different by half of a stop. This was one of the hardest task: not only he can't seat still for this very long exposer, he tried to make me laght all the time... eventually I secceded!:
I like the second photo best, it has a redish style and shows the true colours I have seen.
