Tungsten and Florescent lighting

The world is a rapidly changing place . More Florescent ( energy saving CFL) Bulbs they give out more to a whiter light . They are every where now a days.
Sadly, reflecting back on my days when I used to do Interior and exterior hotel photography. much was lit with low and warm lighting.

So yes Lighting with to days energy saving lights have over taken the house hold Bulb
But lucky some are still used, where dimmers are in use and chandeliers .

Excuse the basic un photographic composition, this image is just to show the effect.

Resulting when using day light settings. taken at dusk in a room lit with Tungsten lighting .
The interior is very yellow, and the out side light very blue.

Auto setting White Balance 
Giving the walls are white. 
They became a off egg shell colour. And the window light, a more to day light!


Day light settings 
The tungsten very yellow. Brown 
day light , a warm tone. 

 Tungsten setting. 
The yellow has gone. But the day light has become Blue .

In this Occasion  The Auto setting wins hands down . Unless my eyes deceive me , the lighting in the first two with Auto setting are more natural to the eye.
