White Balance Issues
A photograph of a palm tree outside the Ventura Museum. Since it was lit by a red spotlight it's really red.
It took me a while to figure out that in some cases there is no such thing as white balance or that using white balance makes no sense. For example if you have a great sunset picture lit by the orange rays of the setting sun it makes no sense to get rid of all those golden tones by clicking white balance.
Another example would be a street scene lit with several light sources, like mercury (green-blue) and high pressure sodium (orange). If you white balance on the mercury, the sodium will go nuts. And vice versa...
In this case, nothing but red, so no white balance.
Had a good bike ride today, cool and sunny. Just perfect.
Cheers.
