Here are 9 images of Scarborough Castle, taken firstly in sun, secondly in shade, and finally at sunset, with white balance set at Auto, Daylight and Cloudy respectively. The camera was the EOS 1D Mk 111 with 17-40mm zoom. A Gitzo tripod barely stood up to the howling wind, which nearly had me over the cliff edge.
1a. Sunny WB Daylight: A normal representation of the scene. (5236K)
1b. Sunny WB Auto: A slight warming of the scene has helped here and I think this is the best image. (4917K)
1c. Sunny WB Shade: This is too yellow. (7159K)
2a. Cloudy WB Daylight: About right as I recall it, but unsurprisingly dull. (5200K)
2b. Cloudy WB Cloudy: This has lifted the colour a bit (and is the best image), but not as strongly as the Shade setting in 1c. (6094K)
2c. Cloudy WB Auto: Not much different from 2a. There is only 36 degrees K between the two images. (5236K)
3a. Sunset WB Auto: A nice warm image, about right. (5114K)
3b. Sunset WB Cloudy: Yuk! Far too yellow. (6094K)
3c. Sunset WB Daylight: The same as in 3a. There's only 122 K difference, so either image will do as best setting.
