I am almost ashamed to put this image into this post but I thought someone might learn from my mistakes.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">A few things about my white balance settings\u00a0before I go on to explain the tungsten blue mess I created above.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<div style=\"text-align: left;\">For the most part I use Auto White Balance for my white balance mode on my Nikon D200 (OK, <em>almost<\/em> always)<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<div style=\"text-align: left;\">I find that using auto white balance most often gives me the color tones I saw when creating the image<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<div style=\"text-align: left;\">I do on occasion change my white balance (on purpose) if I feel I need to due to lighting conditions.<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">But I do screw up on occasion.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">On the day I took the White Ibis image above the action had been hot and heavy earlier in the morning. I am not sure when it happened but some how when I was changing settings for my ISO I must have fumbled with my fingers and also changed the white balance from auto to tungsten.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">I&#8217;m usually fairly confident about my exposures so I wasn&#8217;t looking at the LCD when the image previews came up on the screen. I was paying attention to my shutter speed and aperture while looking through the viewfinder but wasn&#8217;t looking at the control panel on the top of my D200 or I might have noticed that I wasn&#8217;t using auto white balance.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Live and learn though.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">I drove home, uploaded my images to my computer and began to preview them for culling. When I came across the first image\u00a0after the white balance change I\u00a0wondered what the heck had happened!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">All I can say at this point is that I am very glad I\u00a0shoot all of my images from\u00a0my DSLRs\u00a0in RAW format because I was easily able to get the white balance\u00a0to where it needed to be to\u00a0so that the image looked like the scene I saw through my viewfinder in ACR (Adobe Camera Raw).<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazyload aligncenter wp-image-1975 size-full\" title=\"Screen shot of ACR white balance adjustment tool\" src=\"https:\/\/www.onthewingphotography.com\/wings\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/02\/acr-ibis-mia-mcpherson.jpg\" data-orig-src=\"https:\/\/www.onthewingphotography.com\/wings\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/02\/acr-ibis-mia-mcpherson.jpg\" alt=\"Screen shot of ACR white balance adjustment tool\" width=\"720\" height=\"361\" srcset=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns%3D%27http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg%27%20width%3D%27720%27%20height%3D%27361%27%20viewBox%3D%270%200%20720%20361%27%3E%3Crect%20width%3D%27720%27%20height%3D%27361%27%20fill-opacity%3D%220%22%2F%3E%3C%2Fsvg%3E\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.onthewingphotography.com\/wings\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/02\/acr-ibis-mia-mcpherson-150x75.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.onthewingphotography.com\/wings\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/02\/acr-ibis-mia-mcpherson-300x150.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.onthewingphotography.com\/wings\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/02\/acr-ibis-mia-mcpherson-400x200.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.onthewingphotography.com\/wings\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/02\/acr-ibis-mia-mcpherson.jpg 720w\" data-sizes=\"auto\" data-orig-sizes=\"(max-width: 720px) 100vw, 720px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: #808080;\">Screen shot of ACR white balance adjustment tool<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"color: #627762;\">\u00a0<\/span>In ACR&#8217;s first screen on the right hand side there is a drop down next to &#8220;White Balance&#8221; where you can select different white balances.\u00a0 For my ibis image I selected &#8220;Daylight&#8221; because that gave me the look of the frame I remember seeing through my view finder.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Additionally you can use the &#8220;Temperature&#8221; slider, going left towards darker blue adds cooler temps, going right in the yellows adds warmer tones.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Yes, I messed up the white balance on my Ibis image but ACR helped me to correct it and I didn&#8217;t have to delete the file.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: #888888;\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazyload aligncenter wp-image-157284 size-full\" title=\"White Ibis in flight over Fort De Soto County Park, Pinellas County, Florida\" src=\"https:\/\/www.onthewingphotography.com\/wings\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/white-ibis-flight-daylight-mia-mcpherson-2038.jpg\" data-orig-src=\"https:\/\/www.onthewingphotography.com\/wings\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/white-ibis-flight-daylight-mia-mcpherson-2038.jpg\" alt=\"White Ibis in flight over Fort De Soto County Park, Pinellas County, Florida\" width=\"850\" height=\"577\" data-id=\"15989\" srcset=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns%3D%27http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg%27%20width%3D%27850%27%20height%3D%27577%27%20viewBox%3D%270%200%20850%20577%27%3E%3Crect%20width%3D%27850%27%20height%3D%27577%27%20fill-opacity%3D%220%22%2F%3E%3C%2Fsvg%3E\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.onthewingphotography.com\/wings\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/white-ibis-flight-daylight-mia-mcpherson-2038-200x136.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.onthewingphotography.com\/wings\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/white-ibis-flight-daylight-mia-mcpherson-2038-400x272.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.onthewingphotography.com\/wings\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/white-ibis-flight-daylight-mia-mcpherson-2038-600x407.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.onthewingphotography.com\/wings\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/white-ibis-flight-daylight-mia-mcpherson-2038-768x521.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.onthewingphotography.com\/wings\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/white-ibis-flight-daylight-mia-mcpherson-2038.jpg 850w\" data-sizes=\"auto\" data-orig-sizes=\"(max-width: 850px) 100vw, 850px\" \/>White Ibis in flight &#8211; Corrected White Balance &#8211; Nikon D200, f6.3, 1\/1000, ISO 160, Nikkor 80-400mm VR at 400mm, natural light <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">The image above more accurately represents the color of the ibis and the sky on the day I created this photo.\u00a0 The whites don&#8217;t have a unnatural blue cast and the sky is no longer a garish, unbelievable blue.
