Most people have problems getting accurate white balance for interiors, especially under artificial lighting. As I love shop window displays, I decided to go to TSC Shopping Mall at Orchard Road to take some shots of the window displays inside TSC and try my hand at correcting white balance under artificial lighting conditions.
Now, most shop and window displays are attractive due to the special lighting arrangments used to bring out the merchandise featured. Using flash on the camera, I feel, would destroy the carefully arranged lighting setup created by the designer. Hence all my shots in this series were taken without the use of flash.
My settings were: D70 with kit lens, AWB -3, Hue -3, +0.3EV, Auto ISO, Matrix metering, Aperture priority, AF-S and AF-ON. Raw format was used for the quality. Pictures were processed in NC and PS for white balance, noise and sharpness.
