Part 4 Ex 3.2 Judging colour temperature

For this ex I was required to take similar shots at similar light situations to the previous Ex.  This time I was required to alter the White Balance setting.  One at Daylight, one at shade and the third in automatic.

The first set of photographs were taken in full sunlight.

Auto

Cloudy

Daylight

The auto and daylight are similar, they are both attempting to remove some of the orange from the exposures.  The cloudy has added more orange making it more of a late sunlight shot.  I prefer the cloudy effect but would probably have preferred a more minor alteration.

The second set were taken in shade:

Auto

Cloudy

Daylight

The results on the shade photographs is more subtle.  The auto setting is nearer the shade setting and both have attempted to put more colour into the shot.  I prefer the cloudy setting.

The third set was in low light, this was quite difficult as the light was fading fast:

Auto

Daylight

Cloudy

These photographs show that the auto setting attempts to bring attempts to remove some of the orange and bring up the blues so the shot almost looks like it was taken in the shade.  The cloudy has lots of orange in it, probably too much for my liking.  I prefer the daylight setting that has a good balance.
