I just looked at my images from the past 3 days where I tried shade WB for pre-dawn and sunlight WB if there was any. I also included my McBeth for a WB target for a couple. This sort of works as it warms up the shot.


Shade (in natural lighting) is absence of direct warm light. Pre-dawn is essentially the same as shade, since the direct warm light is being blocked by the earth rather than say a building or trees. The illumination is then still relegated to only coming form the open sky (cool).

Short of the "color calculus" (I kind of like that, btw), the pre-dawn selection @ shade makes some sense. Of course, you can always use the "wrong" WB to tone things where you want them too.

One more. This time I used shade for WB. This is almost identical to using the white rock for a white point.

This time I used ACR auto to adjust all the sliders and when I opened it, all I did was darken the rock, clone out the tree and used free transform to narrow the sky. Then I sharpened and saved, no LAB, no S/H and no RGB overlay.



This may be your strongest take on it. But to me, that white rock is a problem that there's no real getting around.

I agree and next time I am at Grand Canyon, I will go to either Moran or Lipon point which have a cleaner view. For this shot, a longer lens might have worked. Ir even a (gulp) vertical. A vertical could have gotten sky and canyon at a longer focal length.

I am finished with this image, that is it will not get printed. But it had such promise with the sky that I had to work it.
