![]() It is a ton of fun to not only know which setting records it accurately, but to make it into whatever “look” you favor all in the camera. Get up early or go out late and try a variety of different white balance settings on your camera of the sunrise or sunset. Shot Direct Sunlight/Daylight WB (5200K) this is not a bad result at least compared to using Auto WB Shot at Cloudy/Overcast WB, this is a slightly warmer image than the actual color and I tend to prefer this Shot at Shade WB, this is definitely a warmer effect but still a great option Shot at 10,000 Kelvin WB this is as warm as I can make it given the WB options on my camera Shot at 5500K WB, this is how the sunset actually looked to my eyes Shot at Auto WB notice how much of the warmth has been removed by the camera. Below you can see examples of all the different WB options I tried on a photo of the sun about 20 mins before sunset last night as well as an image of the color the way it actually was. The warmest you can do on most cameras is 10,000 degrees Kelvin. Or if you would rather use the Kelvin WB control on your camera, the higher you go on your Kelvin temperature, the warmer the image will be. In terms of using the preset (the WB “modes”) on the camera, going to Cloudy/Overcast adds some warmth and going to Shade adds even more. However, if this does not reproduce the scene accurately, or if you are like me and you would like to accentuate the effect of the warmth, you have some other options. Filtered image:cross processed vintage effect. Panoramic view of colorful sunrise in mountains. Therefore, if you did nothing else, you could use your Daylight/Direct Sun WB setting instead of Auto WB and likely will get a result truer to what you see.

The problem is that Auto WB allows the camera to adjust the color reproduction and when the scene you are shooting has lots of warm tones in it, the camera thinks that it should make the warmness turn cooler and adds blue back in, often ruining the effect you were going for. ![]() In essence, the mistake most photographers make is to leave their cameras in Auto WB all the time including at the beginning and the end of the day. Or maybe, you might want to make your average sunset photo look more warm and pleasing? Either way, one of most rewarding concepts, in my opinion, for sunrise/sunset photography is the difference that changing your white balance can make in the camera. Have you ever taken a photo of a beautiful sunrise or sunset with all those warm hues that we love (like oranges, yellows, reds, etc.) only to find that your resulting image was lackluster at best. ![]()
