Digital photography question (since we're on the by PSYCHOI3OY 2006-11-05 04:31:35
subject).

My dining area ceiling fan has compact flourescent bulbs in it (actually 3 CF and one incandescent clear glass globe, but I can take that out). Said area is the only well lit and clutter free area of the apartment, so it is where I've been setting stuff up to be photographed.

Should I be setting white balance for incancescent or 'warm flouescent' with the CF bulbs? (The most obvious solution is to try both and see what looks best, but I'm at work at the moment and the question just popped into my head.)

I can provide an example picture that was posted in Friday's UF Ordnance Corner, but I'm not linking them right now so as to not offend anyone. So far I've just been leaving it on default 'auto' white balance.
