A little example of how late in the day we were at the Valley of Fire National park. The first uncorrected image shows what the color of the light was - and holding the preview screen of the camera next to my hand, it looked right on.
This was about 20 minutes after the sun had completely disappeared behind the mountains/hills to the West. It was getting to the point where my wife and I could just barely see the path to walk. http://charles.robinsontwins.org/photos/2012/IMGP5608.jpg The second image is the one I used to color-correct everything else I shot after sunset. I made my hand look normal, so the rest of the images would look properly like daylight shots. Indeed, this is the color of red we were seeing before the sun dropped below the horizon. http://charles.robinsontwins.org/photos/2012/IMGP5608-2.jpg My first thought when I saw the image on the preview screen was that the auto-white-balance was being thrown by the red of the sand. But holding the camera next to my hand, it looked just like what I was seeing with my eyes.
