Cooler?

Or warmer?

Hi!
When I have doubts, do you know what I do?
I take the cold value + warm value and divide it by 2
That is: 4242 + 5340 / 2 = 4750 K :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

Cooler seems more fitting

I just can’t decide! I like them both. Cooler seems more ‘expected’ somehow to me, but the warmer one actually has a bit more drama. I’m leaning towards warmer atm.

I do think I’d choose the warmer. I like the subtle yellow in the sky.
But, to be honest, I also like the cooler one. :sweat_smile:

It’s a lovely image! I find myself partial to a square format at the moment.
I used sigmoid instead of filmic, otherwise the usual stuff. Recent dt 4.1 build.

that’s nice! I need to overcome the fear of increasing saturation!

So we are 50-50 :sweat_smile:

As for myself, I’m leaning towards the warmer version. It seems more in line with the time of the day, and with what I remember I saw when I was there.

My final version (maybe):

I removed some red and green with the channel mixer in the color calibration module:

Nice, looks a lot warmer. But, Sir, what’s up with the dogs? Did you clone them out? :man_shrugging:
