On White Balance...

Well, the idea that I'd shoot some photos last night at the Cedar Park game (did I mention that the Pirates won, 59-6? No? Well, they did..) while it was "before it was fully dark" turned out to be nonsense. When I got to the high school at 6:30 pm it *was* dark and the only light was the field lights.

Decided to set the white balance at "fluorescent" or 4000K as a compromise/experiment because that's the same color temperature as "standard" metal halide lights, and I figured that having all the photos shot to the same white balance would be better than "Auto" since if fluorescent was off, I could correct duing RAW conversion.

We'll see: I'm burning the *. Cr2 files to DVD right now...
