Color balance is normally reserved to refer to correction for differences in the ambient illumination conditions. However, the algorithms for transforming the data do not always clearly separate out the different elements of the correction. Hence, it can be difficult to assign color balance to a specific step in the color correction process. Moreover, there can be significant differences in the color balancing goal. Some applications are created to produce an accurate rendering – as suggested above. In other applications, the goal of color balancing is to produce a pleasing rendering. This difference also creates difficulty in defining the color balancing processing operations.
okay…all new to me…love learning along the way Han…as i did not alter these images…it was early morning pink light…almost a golden glow…and i do not believe all snow is white…we think it is white…ps. aka sloppy buddhist or dr.hedy 😉
Photography in winter is not easy. Your lightmeter inside the camera is set for 18% midgrey.. With snow, wich is much lighter you have to fool your whitebalance and your meter.. It is a matter of trial and learn. It took me a few winters.. As we do not have so much snow as you in Canada.
winter scenes like are a “happy place” for me. Thanks for the beauty.
i agree mobius faith…outdoors…fresh and lovely…thanks kindly for your comments 😀
whitebalance mrs Bach, snow is white.

okay…we have lots! 😀
BTW a nice example of a ‘golden hour’ : http://twisindezak.com/2013/01/16/golden-hour/
thanks for sharing…yes he has produced another pleasing rendering…thanks Han…it was a pink and golden moment in my mind’s i/eye.
Amazing shots!!!I love the colours in these landscapes!!It reminds me of Cezanne´s wonderful paintings !!Thanks for sharing them sloppy buddhist!! 🙂
thanks kindly…the sun was just rising…quiet and calm morning…golden moment for me 😀
