Case Study 7: White Balance - Fluorescent

Spot the difference?

I am not asking you to play a game and spot 10 differences between these two pictures :)

This is an example of White Balancing... As you can figure out, I was in Fort Worth Stock Yards at 6:24 PM to be very precise. I am talking about DUSK time after Sunset when there is little bit light in the sky and it is still blue.

Both pictures have exactly same frame and the camera settings except white balance setting. For the second picture, it is set to Fluorescent for the vibrant colors especially for Sky.

How to get there in Nikon: Go to Menu -> Shooting Menu -> White Balance -> Select Fluorescent.
