Thanks Larry. I went with the native temperature of the iight to an extent. The first two shots are lit by tungsten and the Christmas tree, so I rendered them with a golden glow, but still pushed them back toward a norm. The third is window light, so I went for what that naturally tends to yield, but warmed it a little. I generally twist my light only a bit, unless color is critical.
All the shots are at ISO 3200, but some areas were considerably underexposed due to the position of the lights, so I probably pushed the chalkboard at least a stop and a half, while burning in some of the fireplace bricks and the ceiling lights. So there's about a two+ stop variation across the shot, which I reduced to about half a stop -- much like the human eye would do. Hence some noise in the areas that were originally in shadow.
