For the camera settings challenge to explore white balance.
Top left: white fluorescent. Seemed like the best bet, considering this was directly underneath a fluorescent ceiling fixture.
Top right: tungsten. Much cooler, not an accurate color match.
Bottom left: auto. I actually like this warmer look a lot. I think the reality might be somewhere in between fluorescent and whatever temperature auto picked.
Bottom right: custom WB using a gray card. If I did this right, anyway. It's closest to the fluorescent, which is what I'd expect!
@samzee Me too - I'm not convinced I set it properly, to be honest. I tried it again under stage lights and the resulting photos were way too blue - I just wound up going back to auto for those!
Great shot for the exercise and I like the way you have presented them. It does illustrate the differences in settings. Not sure which I prefer but leaning towards the auto setting.
