7D White Balance

[mdubuque]

Hello, here is my view.


You have a truly remarkable, life changing camera. Me too.


What I found is that after purchasing an ExpoDisc for around 90 dollars and doing custom white balances off of the light sources illuminating my image, that my white balance and color qualities became shockingly good.


I couldn't recommend this more highly. You will learn to do it very quickly.


It really showcases your amazing camera.


With my old gear, I thought I would never custom white balance.


But now I will never go back. I custom white balance 95% of the time.


You can really see the difference

Another excellent option is to simply shoot in RAW, where without any affect on image quality you can adjust the white balance to any of the presets in post, or select a Kelvin temperature, or just click on something white in the image.

I agree, the EXPODISC is great! Though there were 2 times where I thought the WB was off. I am wondering if it was because of the mixed light source in the room, even though 85% of the light was coming from the fluorescent ceiling lights.

@ neuroanatomist: I do all those things. i just like to get the images as close to color correct as I can in camera is all. And yes I know, I want the impossible. LOL!!!
