This photo (off-topic, sorry!) of a Pika http://www.wildlightphoto.com/mammals/lagomorphs/pika00.html was made at high altitude before air pollution. Clouds blocked the sun so the only light on the animal was from the deep blue sky. If I had used a CC filter at the time of exposure to correct the blue color cast my shutter speed would have dropped well below 1/60 sec and the picture most likely would have been too blurry to be usable. Without the CC filter the exposure was 1/60 sec @ f/4.5, the maximum aperture of the lens. There's still a color cast in this file but if you want to see what it looks like without color corrections find a copy of Audubon magazine, September 1974 and look at the photo on the inside front cover.
