White balance
Yes Marvin, that does look familiar. The difference is that you know what you're talking about and I just parrot what the photographer said this morning. Had this question come up a week from now I probably would have forgotton that I even heard 'white balance'. Luckily this has come up now while it's fresh in my head. There is so much to learn, things disappear as new info comes in.
My camera manual has 2 pages on setting the white balance. Who knew?
There's a page on 'setting a custom white balance' and it talks about that 'photo-quality gray card' you mentioned. I'm assuming that's a special gray card that I can find at a photography shop. Or maybe it's any gray card that I will use to match?
Perhaps this will help with the discrepancy I had when shooting my 'babysitter portraits'. I even started a thread asking anyone why my color might have been so far off given the conditions. I can't wait to start experimenting with the white balance.
Thanks for the info Marvin on the white balance.
