Demonstrating the White Balance

Here are a few examples of different White Balance settings in different light conditions. A box of 12 coloured pencils was used so that majority of the colours can be squeezed into a single shot thus giving an idea of how the correction has an effect on different colours of the pencils:

Following three pictures entitled “Photo A, B and C” were taken indoors, the room being lit by 2 x 100 watt bulbs. The first picture (Photo A) was taken with White Balance set to “Auto” mode, the second (Photo B) using preset mode “Incandescent” and the third (Photo C) was taken after manually measuring the white balance. If you notice the first picture has a reddish cast, the second much better but still has the cast, the third being correct in terms of colour.
