About that church.....

Well, somebody either washed or painted the church between these two shots (or, we're going to have a fight over whose white balance is most accurate?)

Both nice shots, though. Where is it?

The church is in the town of Oia on Santorini. Mine was a "grab shot" as our tour group was walking toward a dinner reservation on a balcony overlooking the caldera. As it was evening, sun more-or-less behind the church, light was not too good and not midday color temp. I will unhesitatingly concede on color accuracy. When working PP, I adjust the color to what my mind remembers seeing, what I wish the color had been, or just what pleases me. Sometimes I hit the "auto color" or put the eyedropper on what I thnk was or should have been pure white or neutral gray, but mostly I just fiddle the sliders until I get something I like. Let us not open the discussion of which old chrome gave "correct" color: Kodachrome, Ektachrome, Astia, Velvia.
