White Balance settings...

With all the talk of color and such I made an effort to start
getting into the habit of changing the WB settings.

This morning was a classic overcast morning so I set it to
overcast. When I opened the image in SPP the color was dead on.

The more I use this camera the more I like it.

I'm going to pick up a full size kodak gray card after lunch. This
weekend I'll experiment with custom WB settings. If all goes
according to plan I'll be carrying a tattered, dog eared, card with
me at all times in my laptop case.

Beautiful picture, Obscura.

I wish you came to the forum 1 week earlier.

Last weekend was a first wedding session for me. It was fun. My
Cousin and his bride was surprised to see me showing up with a
beautiful camera and the 24-70 EX lens. People were impressed. I
use a Vivitar cheapo flash which couldn't synch, so I pointed it
half way to the ceiling.

Except, now I have to work on the color, using Troy's Photoshop
scheme.

I think Zone8 and Mr. Matson said something about these Gray cards.

The thing is, they were never clear with results, and Laurence's
style is always with wits that require you to try it out yourself.
Nice wisdom, but sometimes doesn't work in this fast paced busy
schedule of a few of us.
