COLOR OF LIGHT
Measured on Kelvin scale
COLOR OF LIGHT
Measured on Kelvin scaleNamed for physicist William Kelvin, who discovered a block of solid carbon emits light at specific colors depending upon the
temperature.

COLOR OF LIGHT
We can also measure light by its wavelength
COLOR OF LIGHT
We can also measure light by its wavelength
Visible light occupies the range on the electromagnetic spectrum from about 390 nm to 800 nm.

COLOR OF LIGHT
It is helpful to understand that what we call “White Light,” is actually comprised of all colors, at varying wavelengths.
Not all colors reflect off all surfaces, and not all colors transmit through materials.

How does color filtration affect B&W photography?
Selective darkening of tonal values based on color of the subject.
For instance, a red or orange filter on the camera while shooting black & white, will result in a darkening of blue and green tones, such as the sky, or foliage.
