This coloration was present even before when the water impacted the rocks near the top probably due to the powerful current being bottlenecked, when it fell from the upper rocks to the lower rocks, and then as it flowed down the lower rocks. The lower rocks were also shrouded in a thin visible mist. All surrounding rocks were so damp as to constantly trickle water onto the observation path.(07-04-2015, 12:30 AM)Surge Wrote: I don't know a damn thing about photos.

White Balance is normally automatically done by the camera but under certain lighting it can stuff up. This is basically because things that appear "white" to us all have slightly different hues, which the camera is very good at detecting. Since it needs to pick a colour that becomes "pure" white as a reference point for all the other colours, having it slightly off can give the photo a sort of off-colour hue (like everything looking slightly blue or slightly red - often described as the photo having 'cool' or 'warm' lighting). White balancing just means setting this yourself, either so it's correct and accurate or sometimes to create an interesting effect.
Basic camera settings are pretty simple, it's really just controlling the balance between aperture size (what's in focus), shutter speed (how long the photoreceptor is exposed to light) and ISO (how sensitive the photoreceptor is to light). Everything else is more or less so much fluff.
