I was asked to shoot the same scene at three different times of the day.  Doing this for two very different scenes.  Shooting the same scene twice with different pre set white balance settings.

The point of this assignment is to get better at nailing your exposures and to see how the white balance changes as the time of day and the light changes.
Some of these images have colors or white balances that are not correct or not neutral color balances.  This is what the assignment was teaching.  This assignment showed how the pre set settings (i.e. shady, cloudy, tungsten, auto, fluorescent, daylight, pre...) show the color cast difference from shot to shot.
