Xaccers Posted February 17, 2010 Report Share Posted February 17, 2010 I NEVER had a problem with white balance untill those stingray pictures, so I am trying to learn WB. Seems very challenging to get use to, but I think learning it will benefit me greatly Shoot RAW then you don't have to worry about white balance settings. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ChrisWPA Posted February 17, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2010 I have switched to shooting RAW. But I hear if the white balance is completely off, and you adjust in RAW by alot, the noise level will be quite high. So I just want to learn WB completely Quote Link to post Share on other sites
oikoik Posted February 18, 2010 Report Share Posted February 18, 2010 always best to sort as much as you can 'in camera'. dont rely on post to fix it you dont have to 'learn' wb, just recognise what kind of light situation youre getting into, and adjust accordingly, or get your card out to adjust for it.

catfishsalesco Posted February 18, 2010 Report Share Posted February 18, 2010 (edited) Hrm, that doesn't make much sense tbh, while balance is something that is applied by the cameras processor when it makes the JPEG (along with saturation, ect ect) Working with RAW is esentially doing what the camera does (just with much more flexibility) when it creates the JPEG. The problem that you are talking about occurs when you shoot under nasty light that is far away from being daylight balanced, so you lose a bit of info when shifting the color to proper balance. This is exaggerated if you images are not well exposed in the first place. Just read oikoik's post, and yeah, a Grey card is very handy when shooting in odd light, Just take a photo of it in the lighting you are working in, and bam! instant color reference. I have switched to shooting RAW. But I hear if the white balance is completely off, and you adjust in RAW by alot, the noise level will be quite high.

WhutJP Posted March 3, 2010 Report Share Posted March 3, 2010 really? I thought it looked about right. more exposure would've blown out the signs I think. anyways, two more. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Night_raven Posted March 7, 2010 Report Share Posted March 7, 2010 Thought i might as well throw a couple pics of my current gear into the mix, ala *Show what camera you use*; (That lense shade cap is 30 years old, and it still fits as good as ever. Spesh as it has made in U.S.S.R on the inside of it.) And the business end of it all; Quote Link to post Share on other sites
