BLUE COLOR CAST

This may be obvious to most readers, but if you have subject matter that is inherently depressing, choose a blue color cast. This image of a bullet ridden building (kept un-repaired as a monument I believe) has a haunting and sad feel. I chose an incandescent or tungsten white balance setting, which on most cameras is signified by a little light bulb icon.

Give this color balance option a try, and you may find that it adds more mood and atmosphere to many of your photos.

The building is in the castle district in Budapest, Hungary.
