White Balance and Light Discussion

[KENNYSREEF]

Hello All!

I shoot a Canon EOS RP with Tamron 90mm Macro in RAW but I'm having a difficult time adjusting my white balance in Lightroom to show a little more pop.
Can anyone show me what they normally adjust in regards to WB/ WB Curves?

Additionally, do you change your lighting prior to taking pictures?

Personally, I usually increase my color temp and then add in a little blue highlights. Below are 2 examples.

Do you shoot with any filters?

If anything just a CPL, but don’t need one that much tbh

I normally use Adobe camera raw ( should have similar function in light room i believe) and chose wb correction color.picker and click on something close to neutral grey which automatically corrects the color cast, I follow up with a bit of manual WB correction then adjust exposure level and also sometimes add a bit of contrast and increase backs to have a more contrasty popping image . U could also play with saturation but make sure not to overdo it.
I turn on my halides before a shoot of the tank and if needed kill ambient lights to minimize reflections.
Its better explained in the photography articles here in the sticky thread.
