The above was a single shot taken in RAW and then processed under the standard white balance
presets found on a DSLR. The shots are purposefully arranged from the warmest to coldest color
temperatures. Clearly the shot on the Brooklyn Promenade is a very sunny scene. So, for white balances
set too low (Incandescent, Fluorescent) have a clear blue/cold color cast as their white balance is too
warm for the scene. The opposite is true for the Sunny and Shade WB presets - the shot gets a warm color
cast because the WB was set too cold for the scene.
