Cloudy vs. Shade
1

I was interested in the difference between a Cloudy vs. a Shade White Balance setting.

I had read that Shade adds more orange to the photo. I believe it does. I had read that a good time to use that setting is if you are in the sun, but your subject is in the shade and you want to add a little more skin tone to their complexion. I don't know. I'll have to try it sometime and see. I can't really see using it in the normal course of events.
