Why AWB Is Not A Good Choice For Nature Photographers

Rob Sheppard talks about AWB (auto white balance) on the Outdoor photographer Blog

"If you consistently want the best color in your images, I suggest you never use auto white balance outdoors and use a specific white balance instead."

"And there are other problems, such as sunrise and sunset. In those conditions, you want a “color cast” because that is what is normal. AWB doesn’t know that and will try to remove some of that color cast, exactly the wrong thing to do, so you end up with less than the best color for those conditions."
