Still working on the night photography!

[reissigree]

You guys on the forum have helped me progress so much from knowing absolutely nothing a few weeks ago. But I need your help once again! What can I do to make this picture better? How could I edit it to make the house look a little more normal?Any ideas? Thanks in advance!

White balance appears as if it was not set to tungsten/bulb mode or such?

You should be able to adjust white balance in post if you shot RAW and use Lightroom or photoshop or such.

Thats my problem! I didnt know what to set it to. Thanks!

i generally try to avoid getting too much of an insignificant well lit building in the frame

same goes for trees

though if you do want something like that in there, either use a strobe, or dont fill too much of the frame with it

Let's see, I have shade, cloudy, flash, direct sunlight, fluorescent, incandescent, and auto. Hm :\

incandescent <---i don't use canon but i bet that one will make the pic appear better
