Hawk and wood pecker, two firsts for me

Nice set, the edits look a little cold to me (non calibrated monitor).

It could be because I used "click" white balance. The "daytime" white balance was too warm. What would you do?

Move the slider until it looks right. You might need to change the tone as well if it becomes too green, or magenta. I normally start off with the 'as shot' setting and work from there. WB is definitely an area I need to improve myself.

That's the only thing that consistently ruins my photos. I don't set premade wb in the camera, I just keep it on auto. Ill have to do some research.

I also shoot with Auto WB, in LR I normally leave it as is (or set it to 'as shot'), and if it looks off I slide the slider in the appropriate direction. If it looks purple or green I slide the tint slider in the appropriate direction. I then copy the settings, as well as other minor settings I've made, and paste them to the other photos in the set with similar lighting conditions-saves quite a bit of time.

I do the same, but I use canon dpp the most. I also have Corel aftershot and paintshop pro (all software the most current since the older Corel stuff I had didn't work with my 80d raw files). Copying the photo recipe is easier and more consistent than doing one photo at a time. It's the cropping that takes a while. I'm picky lol

I use Photoshop and move the WB or temp slider until it looks 'right'

Probably a stupid question, but is there a "right"?
