    There is no magic number, but from experience if you were not using a flash I am guessing the ambient light in the bathroom to be between 3200-3800K. If you shoot in RAW format adjusting the temperature is quite simple in DPP. If you shoot in JPEG it is not so simple. This is one of the biggest reasons to use RAW format, it gives you the ability to simply adjust your picture at a later date.

    thank you for all the input and information, I will be taking more pictures this weekend since we are taking him to county fair in our area. I only have a 50mm lens. What lens would you guys recommend for shooting at a theme park or carnival/fair?
