The white balance for these images from the RAW file have been set to Daylight
Image 1 - Full sunlight
The sun in this image is at about 9 o'clock to the camera, it is mid afternoon
Image 2 - In shade - during middle of the day
This image has been in the shade of the car mid afternoon, the sun is almost 12 o'clock to the camera's position
Image 3 - The sun is is close to the horizon
The sun is just visible at 11 o'clock to the camera position and sits low in the horizon.
Lessons Learnt
a) Having looked at the RAW files simply selecting the "daylight" white balance option the image is made "warmer" than as shot
b) Image 1 with the side of the car in full sunlight has very noticeable difference to image 2 taken at the same time but in the shade. With my eyes I think image is fairly representative oh what they saw and what the camera captured
c) Image 2 appears to be captured slightly darker from what my eyes saw but its clear why many shots are best captured in the golden hours, or with shadow as the subject appears to have more shape and form. With my untrained eye I'm not sure that with certainty I can say I can see blue light but it is different from the white light in image 1 and its certainly changed the silver colour of the subject
d) Image 3 clearly has the warm and orange glow as sunset approaches. Again in this instance there appeared to be more light than that captured by the camera. The subject is bathed in the warm colours of the setting sun
