Benefits of shooting in RAW
There are many benefits of shooting in RAW. One of those is the white balance. I shoot in Auto White balance and do the final tweaking, if required during post processing.
On one of the days, I had missed the right turn to Ranganathittu and drove ahead for about 10 kms or so and then turned back. Rushed as the light was getting strong and jumped into a boat. Needless to say that I forgot to check the white balance. The result you will see in the next image. Unlike the jpeg, in raw, the white balance data is not written over, but just embedded in the image. So you can tweak it.
