Shooting in Kelvin
1

I've been playing around a little with shooting in Kelvin.

It's kind of interesting.

The first photo was shot in the standard Daylight White Balance setting. The Kelvin temperature here is 5500

In the second photo, I dropped the Kelvin temperature in the White Balance setting to 3900.

It turned the sky a deeper blue. ("Course it also turned the trees a bluer color too. You have to be careful what you aim your camera at )

5500K

3900K
