| White balance in photos. |

I recently learned from  klwalton about white balance in photos. The basic idea is that things which are white should look white — a simple idea, I'm sure, but something I didn't know about before.
So I've been trying to keep this in mind when post-processing my photos. Now, although there are tools to do this for you, it seems still to be quite a subjective art. This evening I was working on a photo I took of Clapham Common Tube station quite late yesterday evening (around 8:15pm). uon and I disagreed over whether the photo looked better with or without the white balancing; the obvious solution is a poll!

I like both :-) it depends what the photograph is. Here, for example, I wanted the "correct" white balance for Bill's suit. But here, here and here I've messed around a bit.
A couple of those links aren't working for me, but I just perused your gallery. Aren't puffins just the most amazing-looking creatures in the world? That trip must have been amazing.
Grargh! No idea what happened there.
Replace the ridiculous binary thing in the URLs with '&image' and all will be fine.
GODDAMNIT! Replace them with an ampersand and the word 'image'.
