Early Morning

I got early the other day and got this picture of a tree that is leaning over a field gate. The daylight white balance helped to keep some of the warmth of the light at that that time of day. If I had taken a custom white balance all that warmth would have been lost.

Even so, the warmth of the shot does not really reflect the feel of the time of day. In Photoshop I added an 81 series filter to really bring out the warmth of the shot. Here is the result.

Early in the morning at this time of year, especially under clear skies, it is cold. So I thought I would have one final go at the picture. This time I used an 80 series filter in Photoshop to put the chill back into the picture. Here it is.

It is interesting to see how the mood of the picture has been changed by altering the white balance. And each of the images evokes a different emotional response in the viewer.
