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

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

  4. Fascinating. I like the result of the tungsten setting.

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