Not sure what camera you would have, K. But "lower end" ones usually have "scenes" and the scenes would use different white balances.


My camera is a canon sx130 si and yes it does have scene settings, the one subject i used them on showed no real difference, except the black and white of course and the green enhancer was slightly different. If i get a chance later I will try another subject. Could just be my 'eye' . I will continue to play with it to learn more .

Yes, K, 3rd one was "cooked" - purposely. To show the extremes that are possible.


I realized that the picture was cooked (nicely) i guess what I was trying to say is that the best look (in my opinion) would be somewhere between 2 & 3.

Great challenge Pat, thanks for hosting. It took me a while to realize my camera could actually measure the Kelvin temperature (K) of the light source using a neutral grey card. Of course I still don't have one but Bushido said something to me at one of our Photopalooza gatherings that I have expanded on but was a great tip for me anyway. Turns out just about anything neutral in color, even the palm of you hand, that is being lit by the lighting source you are shooting in works pretty good to set a custom K value for the white balance setting in the camera. I especially put the tip to good use shooting in gymnasium lighting at.....

Have you heard anything recently from Bushido???? Know he was having some physical problems, but then he hasn't been posting anything lately! Hope he's OK & hoping you are getting along OK too!

Have you found that w fluorescent and tungsten it is hard to get the blues down and the warmer shades up?


Try as I might I can't rid a shot of at least a bit of a blue tinge if it was taken with the tungsten Setting unless of course the Lights I'm shooting are tungsten then The Blue is a wash..Florescent I think I got rid of part of it in the edit..

That’s been my experience.
