Default Sunset over marina - my first!!

These are my very first "ok" sunsets. I'm pretty happy with them. The first one was set to automatic white balance...the second one was set to tungsten. I can't believe the difference it made!

AWB

Tungsten WB (can a change in white balance really make this much of a difference in color??)

Me! I hardly ever get pictures of me cause I'm always the one behind the camera. My sister took this one

My beautiful niece

Thanks for looking

One of the many tools digital photographers have is changing the WB to alter color.

Thanks Crazzy88s! I had no idea it could make that much of a difference. Learning something new everyday!

How very nice to see the face behind the camera. Pleased to meet you. I must say your sunset is almost as sunny as your smile! Nicely done.

Nice sunsets, and radically different. Good to see the person behind the posts!
