Judging Colour Temperature 2

This time I needed to look at various white balance settings and how they alter the image, I decided to use hubby again so I could compare the results against the previous exercise, so after a bit of bribbery, (chocolate and wine) I set about taking the next set of photographs,the first set are taken in full sun and the white balance in order of the photographs is auto, direct sun and finally shade, (I will use this order for all three sets of photographs).

The first thing that I noticed was that the one taken with the shade white balance looked really un natural it almost made him look ill and I did not like this at all, the auto white balance was ok but I prefered the daylight setting, as although the auto setting was amost colourless it wasn't quite right still.
The second sset of photographs were taken in the shade this time I didn't really like any of the photographs the first two on auto and daylight white balance were only just ok and the shade one was not right either, the jumper colour was completely wrong and again he looked ill.

 the final set on photographs were again taken in the evening as the sun was going down,

This time I prefered the last shot the colours seemed to be more as I remembered them his shirt was black which was correct in the photograph  where as on the other two it looked more dark blue.

so what have I learnt from the last two exercises I think the most important thing I have come to realise is how much the correct white balance can  effect on the whole picture, and that I need to think about it more rather than jus tleaving it on auto white balance.
