Exercise: Tungsten and Fluorescent Lighting

Here, I found a room which is lit by tungsten lamps and have taken a shot which includes the interior tungsten lighting and the exterior at dusk.  I have taken three photographs, the first with the White Balance set to auto, the second the white balance is set to daylight and the third the white balance is set to tungsten.

DAYLIGHT

TUNGSTEN

In the first picture the interior light is quite orange, and the exterior colours are quite correct.
The second picture is slightly less orange and the exterior colours are a bit more blue, not quite true.
The third shot, where white balance is set to tungsten, here the interior colour is more accurate although not very warm, and the exterior is now too blue.


FLUORESCENT LAMPS


Here are two sets of pictures are lit by fluorescent lamps, again the first picture white balance is set to auto, the second set to fluorescent, and the third is set to tungsten light.
