Funny....I had the opposite situation...in school forever (or so it seemed) and married quite late. I'm sure you'd have been an awesome college teacher. You do such a great job of offering positive, detailed, and helpful feedback! Are you still offering that photography class? Sign me up!! I will see if I can't get some shots in the lab. I will need a white balance tutorial!
Hi Chuck - I teach at Oregon State University! I taught a summer for University of Oregon at their marine station.
Allison...I wish I was still teaching photography. It was such an enjoyable group of kids to work with.
In you Nikon D5600, you can go into you menu and select white balance. This will take you to a whole bunch of white balance choices such as shade, overcast, daylight, cloudy, tungsten light, fluorescent light, flash, and custom. I think most of us tend to stay with the auto white balance setting in our cameras. We do our white balance changes in post processing (pp) programs such as Lightroom, Photoshop, DPP (Digital Photo Professional) or any of the other available pp programs. I personally almost always have my camera set in "auto white balance," and use lightroom to make any white balance changes. It's really easy to do.
I read your post where you mentioned that you teach at Oregon State University, and at the marine station of University of Oregon. I have a close friend that I grew up with, and we went to school, from junior high thru college together. He taught a number of years at Oregon State University, and also at the University of Oregon marine lab. I know he taught mammalogy and marine biology, but I'm not sure what other classes he taught. His name is Dr. Daniel Varoujean. I was wondering if you ever ran across him during the time you've been teaching?
