A prominent amount of white will trick the camera into thinking there is too much light and the opposite if you have a lot of dark colors. Or if you're trying to produce a certain mood. The camera is always trying to achieve a specific level of exposure. Assuming you are shooting in raw. Pick a particular light choice, say full sunlight setting, and shoot all the images in that white balance regardless of what the sun rise or set is doing. If you set it to auto white balance the camera is going to keep changing trying to compensate for what doesn't makes sense to the camera. That is why many cameras have a sunrise/set mode to counter the shifting color temperature. Then when you edit you can dial them all in to the color temperature you like.  You also want to be full manual. If you're in shutter priority or aperture the camera is going to make other adjustments to the camera to bring the lighting up to full daylight thus losing what you're going after. Lastly, the help and knowledge on here is phenomenal. Where people have difficulty is when they ask a question, but don't really want to listen to the answer. For instance, sometimes people will ask what they could have done better or for some guidance. They get replies giving them advice and the recipient of the advice does nothing but argue for what it was they did instead of trying to understand how the suggestions could help their image. However, that is not what you did... you asked questions and listened. For that reason, I think you will make a great addition here on the forum and wait until you look back on this picture one year from now and have a laugh at how far you've come. Again, welcome and keep shooting.</blockquote>
