This is a good idea with use of shade WB at night.

Thanks for the info.

You can use Opanda or ACDSee or Photoshop or Gimp or anything else.
Sometimes after setting the WB to Shade, the program still says 'Manual White Balance'. But if you look at the Lightsource, it usually says 'Shade'. That is ok.

Hmm, AFAIK the exif info only tells whether the white balance was shot manual or auto, not the specific white balance setting (that's all I see when I look up properties detail). Excuse my ignorance, perhaps there is a special program that show this info. I wonder if that's why there are no entries yet. Too bad, I really like those types of shots and was looking forward to seeing what everyone came up with.
