Mike, when you use an auto white balance you are compromising the varying light sources. You need to take a custom reading with only the main light source on and not allow the other sources to effect it's integrity. This is the equivilent of matching the film to the lightsource. In cooking, additional ingredients should enhance the taste of the main ingredient, not overwhelm it.
