TSC - White Balance: tungsten / Moonlit Nightride

TSC - White Balance: tungsten / Moonlit Nightride
This weeks challenge:

"Fun with White Balance?" While playing with white balance in processing or forgetting to change it on my camera I have had some interesting results.

Read those manuals this week, do this IN CAMERA. for those that have the option to. (almost every one of can do this)

minimal processing is fine... cropping, sharpening all acceptable at anytime. (there is probably more acceptable stuff too.. I just can't think of it)

Remember I am only the messenger to post these, it was Punchinpappy's idea, so please don't shoot the messenger!

EDIT: from pappy.. "think we should be allowed to use the white balance in processing. That is where we will ultimately have the most control to get a desired result. That way we can take our photos as usual and see what we can do with them. The beauty of shooting in RAW and processing is that WB is controllable to get the desired colours you were looking for. In the case of this challenge the idea is to get something unlike the original but still interesting."

Explored Frontpage, thank you all!!

To understand the concept of White Balance, you need to first understand the concept of color temperature. Color temperature is a characteristic of visible light. It provides a method of describing these characteristics and is measured in Kelvin (K). A light having higher color temperature will have more blue light or larger Kelvin value as compared to lower light, which has a smaller Kelvin value.

Tungsten – This mode is used for light under a little bulb like tungsten, and it is often used while shooting indoors. The tungsten setting of the digital camera cools down the color temperature in photos. That's what made this image so cool, white tones turned to blue.

If you shoot your images in RAW format instead of JPEG, you can make the adjustments afterwards, because the camera has made no adjustments so far

The road has been posterized in a separate layer to accentuate the lines.

A very food composition to bring the cold tones into. The shadows and highlights enhance the effect. Well done. It is almost like selective color on the leaves.
