White balance has to do with lighting. Can you set white balance to "automatic" on your camera? On most Point and Shoot Cameras it will be set automatically. As far as black and white - some cameras have a b&w setting some do not. Photography editing software will have a conversion setting from color to b&w. If you'd like, email me at mariwilbur@gmail.com and let me know the make and model of your camera and whether or not you use editing software. I'll be happy to give you some tips. You can also PM me on FaceBook. Include some photos if you'd like. I'll be doing posts on various forms of editing in a couple of months. My brother-in-law is severely dyslexic and is a self-taught photog. He's been taking photos about 4 yrs. He does some amazing work - http://www.flickr.com/photos/29196523gmail N02/sets/<br />Hope to hear from you.Mari Sterling Wilburhttp://mariscamera.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2891695965453313258.post-30609953543539059022011-09-13T19:54:55.757-07:002011-09-13T19:54:55.757-07:00I am interested to learn more about black and whit...I am interested to learn more about black and white images - no idea if that's the same thing as white balance and gray card. Each time I come here, I can feel my dyslexic tendencies freeze up and try to freak out, but you explain everything so well that it eventually makes sense!

Aperture can be difficult to grasp because of the configuration of the f-stop numbers. I had to write it over and over when I was in photography school to "get" it lol. I'll visit your FB page and see if I can post a link.
