My Chanel at 14 1/2 years. Still wants to be the center of attention.

I dialed my WB down drastically to showcase the grey a bit more - First time I dialed in my own WB - usually I just go with the options given

Congrats! A beautiful animal you have there. I don't know that I've ever tried manually dialing in WB before--clearly it can make a big difference. There's a lot about camera settings I almost never mess with until I see something like this and read the notes and think, "Hmmm...maybe I should be letting the camera do more of the work for me." :-P
