Forgot to change the WB

Forgot to change the WB · 04:36 PM

Hello:

This is my first post and just wanted to share a picture that I took yesterday in Santa Monica peer.
I forgot to change the WB and this is the result. Since it is JPEG I was not able to modify it.

I am enjoying a lot my new K20.

That's ok. It makes a dandy B&W. And honestly, you can still fix the color in JPG. It's not as easy as working with RAW and likely won't come out quite as good, but it is very doable. See. (I'll remove if you want.)

I kind of like the blue hues of the original - sort of a moody feel.

Sometimes accidents can be happy ones.

BTW, I edited your post so that the image appears in it. If you go into Edit, you will see how it's done.

Welcome to the forum.
Nice capture too.
Depending on what software you use, you can still quite easily change the colour balance and get the result you're after - though as it is it doesn't look bad at all...

Thank you all for the comments and to SWEngineer for giving me some ideas and to Damn Brit for editing the post. I can't wait for the weekend to come and go out and try my K20 now with the right settings.
