I shot the image purposefully with the auto white balance to how the color of the light changes. The best way to find the best color balance in this situation is to PRE function (custom white balance) and have the camera adjust to this specific case. If you don't know how to use this, check your camera manual for a step by step guide on how to do this. The presets are fine, but they are only accurate when you are in the right conditions, for everything else, I suggest the custom WB.Irene Joneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09249915254671413500noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-382824114078473973.post-28581536759363574462010-01-19T19:48:48.147-08:002010-01-19T19:48:48.147-08:00Mentioning color shift: I've never tried it at...Mentioning color shift: I've never tried it at this time of day, but for your 4pm shot, would simply changing the cameras white balance to "Cloudy" warm up those colors? I know you mentioned the colors coming from the bounced light off your neighbors house. Still learning how al these various WB settings interact with various light types.Michael Huxleyhttp://www.michaeljhuxley.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-382824114078473973.post-33965632134450371772010-01-19T17:59:36.660-08:002010-01-19T17:59:36.660-08:00Thank you for this post.
