Getting warmer photos

6 years 3 months ago #560251 by Steve Kemp
Morning.  How can I get my photos to have a warmer look to them out of camera?  Will a circular polarizer do this for me?

Set your white balance to cloudy. A polarizer will not make an image warmer, but it will increase saturation by cutting glare off of reflective surfaces like water, leaves, wet rocks, etc.

Ok, I'll try that.  Is that the best way or only way?  

Thank you

It's not the only way but is the easiest by far. You don't have to use "cloudy" if you can set the kelvin temperature in the camera. Setting the Kelvin will give you more control but setting to shade or cloudy may work. Experiment to determine what you want. Folks on here have no idea on how warm you want your images to look.

You can get very selective about this with a photo editor, instead of trying to do it all with the camera.

True, but they said "out of camera".

Well that would be "out of camera" then  ;)

In camera - white balance

If you have Lightroom, you can quickly change WB from top right.  Very easy.  Then you can apply rule to all the photos in batch.

So the OP shoots jpeg? Raw "OOC" look awful, of course....

Why so serious?
