Night Light

Camera: Nikon D200
Lens: Nikon 24 - 105
f/5.6 at 8 seconds
ISO 100

I went out last night after dinner to take a some pictures. It was a nice night, calm and dry. I ended up at Science World. I thought I might see the Olympic Ring lights on a barge but I couldn't see them. I did get this view that I thought was worth a shot or two.

Although you can change the white balance on a digital camera, in a scene like this with a mix of different types of light what do you set your white balance for? Tungsten, Florescent?

I decided to throw an FLD filter on the lens to balance for florescent light and leave the WB on automatic. This produced a very warm rendition of the scene that was rich in browns. I then decided to change the white balance in post to tungsten and that cooled things down to produce photo I included above which is much more true to life.
