It's been a while since we explored "White Balance". "The color of an object is affected by the lighting conditions under which it is viewed. Ours eyes and brain compensate for different types of light so...we see a white object as white regardless of the lighting. Digital cameras need help to compensate for different types of light. 'White Balance' is that help." (Setting White Balance by Lindsay Silverman).

For this challenge: select a subject and begin with AWB, take the same image using another WB setting - take an image with each WB setting and note differences - or not. Post 3 or 4 and identify the WB setting. CAUTION: be sure to reset your WB to your "normal" setting when done.

My first example: was using AWB at sunset at the ocean with a lot of moisture in the air. I was shocked when I saw the image. The wet air acted like a prism and my camera clearly did not see the scene as my eyes did. YES editing programs may be able to compensate WB, but the goal is to "get it right" in the camera.

PAT another nice group.

My Canon M3 and 60D are set on M that leaves 3 Items to think about. I have changed the WB while shooting and did not like the results. AWB works great for me. I have found that PS and LR have taken a lot of my enjoyment out of Photography they remind me to much of the Engineering programs I used when I was working. I do very little PP most of it with Elements 10 or 11.

I will However give it a try.
