White Balance Nightmare

[Graham_of_Rainham]

I enjoy "street" photography and having obtained a permit at the "Mall", I spotted this stall and just couldn't resist the colours. The real problem is there was such a mix of light (as well as sweets). So any advice on what to do when faced with this situation would be welcome.



The vendor was a bit upset that I didn't buy anything

Graham - do you shoot in RAW mode?

Always. And I'm pleased I did for this shot as the mix of daylight, striplight (of a temperature chosen to make the sweets look good) and the background lighting really had me and the camera confused.

Sorry about the size of this, I thought I'd made it 600x800 but it's come out twice as big

The colour balance isn't too bad, actually. I only asked about RAW as you will get much better flexibility when adjusting white balance from RAW - which I'm sure you already know
