An intense Ruddington sunset

Tip: Occasionally, use the incorrect white balance. It can lead to some interesting colours...
Awesome!!!!

Great colours, i don't understand white balance on my camera but will have a fiddle for things like this! Great shot!

@sonialast WB is the 'temperature' of the shot. If it's to one extreme the colours are too 'cool', whereas the other extreme makes your colours too 'hot'; think lots of blues for cold and reds for warm! Simple really!

@sonialast --- Also, indoor lighting totally effects the overall color of the pictures. Flourescent lighting gives a blue or yellow cast, Yuk! So, the white balance settings can help to correct that.

Stunning photography. Good stuff.

@sonialast @dmortega Yup, usually you'd try and use a white balance that makes your shot look as natural to reality as possible, but playing with the settings can help. For example, you may want a warmer setting for portraits, so skin tones look nice.

Just so beautiful - your landscapes truly are some of the most beautiful I've ever seen anywhere. Oh and I agree about the white balance - I discovered the beauty of setting to fluorescent the other day at sunset :D
