I made these views of New England Central job 608 working timetable northward at Stafford Spring, Connecticut.<\/p>\n

It was about 7:30am, and the sun was just tinting the eastern sky.<\/p>\n

Rather than set my camera with \u2018auto white balance\u2019 (a typical default setting), I opted to fix the white balance with the \u2018daylight\u2019 setting.<\/p>\n

Auto white balance arbitrarily selects a neutral color balance and adjusts the balance based on the conditions at hand. This is a useful feature in some situations, such as photography under incandescent lighting, or in situations with mixed lighting, such as in a museum or subway.<\/p>\n

However, auto white balance settings have the unfortunate effect of minimizing the colorful effects of sunset and sunrise and so using the \u2018daylight\u2019 setting is in my opinion a better alternative.<\/p>\n

But there\u2019s really much a more complex problem; the way that digital cameras capture images is completely different to the ways the human eye and brain work in fixing visual stimuli. You could write a book on that!<\/p>\n
