PS

Is the last picture of the Auto WB?

Hello Jadranko,

Funny you should ask that....

Since I've got the SX60 it's been my mission to get out of auto-mode and learn how to shoot manually. When I went friday to this park, I also set WB manually. Yesterday (the last two photo's) I used auto WB. I found the lightning conditions very difficult to read, we arrived both days very early (still dark) went through sunrise with some haze and 99% of the time either you were in the open and your subject underneath the trees or the other way around. I can tell you the camera did a much better job with auto WB then I did manually (my inexperience ofcourse) I had to correct a lot of fridays pictures WB in LR. Yesterday the pictures needed a lot less correction, although I still had to play around a little with them in LR. In the last picture the deer basically look to be out in the open, but were are in quite heavy shade from an overhanging tree, while the whole surrounding area is bathing in sunlight. So in LR WB -1/3, I turned the highlights down a bit and pushed the detail in the shadows up a bit. BTW I am also new to LR....
