Re: Recents shots from Bay of Pigs, Cuba

I use trial-and-error to set the white balance, mostly.   I do have a white balance card I've been meaning to attach to a fin, but I can never find it when I'm packing for a trip.

Once I get WB in the ballpark, I'll drag the sliders there to make it 'look good'.  I'll adjust the color temperature if I think the whole scene needs more (or less) saturation, and the hue if that shifts tones a bit.

Frankly, I view the whole exercise as art.   Finding a composition that works (not always possible in-camera), finding colors that work, finding patterns that work - all of it is satisfying to me, and most of it happens above water.
