white Balance

RE: white Balance
This is a very red-neck way of describing it - because I'm not a technical expert when it comes to cameras; but I do know how to correct the white balance on a couple differentcameras to produce brilliant footage.
Often times, the difference between getting "good white balance" is whether you are white balancing in the shade, or in the direct light coming from the source (sun, sunset - sunrise). Sometimes you must try both - view the colors - and make a decision if it looks good.
On both the Canon GL2 and Sony PD-170, the correct lighting is a warm and some-what yellowish looking color scheme. The blue is bad. When I see blue, I try a different light angle until I get that "yellowish" warm glow. Then I know it's nailed.
Trust your eyes - not the camera.

Using the snow to white balance as the light fades in evening. I find it hard to get a quick white balance that can cause the scene to look blue. Any suggestions
