White Balacing

Sunset over the Mississippi River

Below are the differences in a few of the White Balance Settings.
Choosing a different white balance setting can make striking results. These four photos were taken at the same settings and post processed in the same way. The only difference was the white balance setting on the camera.


White Balance: Daylight



White Balance: Shade



White balance: Tungsten



White Balance: Fluorescent

Cool comparison. I like the hot tones of the "shade" white balance.

déjà une belle photo, bonne idée ce Bracketing avec la balance des blancs. Je préfère la version "White Balance: Daylight"

Fascinating. I like the result of the tungsten setting.

Which gave you the color closest to eyesight natural (or whatever it's called)?

Which one is the closest to what you saw? The tungsten one?

Daylight white balance was closest to what I saw.

Another good reason for shooting in RAW as you can change the white balance to change the mood of an image.
