White balance

 White balance is used by digital camera to keep the colours looking as natural as possible in the picture. To do so, the camera analyses the scene to determine which area is truly  white and adjusts itself to the rest of the scene accordingly. If the level of one colour (eg. red) appears too high on the white part , the camera will automatically adjust itself to remove the same level of red from the rest of the picture to make it appear more natural.

 Though most cameras do a pretty good job of adjusting the white balance , it is always a good idea to manually adjust the white a room is only lit with a yellow light bulb , the camera may have a tough time adjusting the white level automatically. you can easily set the white level to high through the camera ‘s menu system and thus get better results.

Play with shadows  

Bright sunny days may look beautiful, but they aren’t the best days for photography. The hard, direct light casts black shadows everywhere. But shadows are interesting – you just have to think about them and where they fall. Too often we notice just the bright part of subject when composing a picture.
