Ok, so it's Saturday morning here in sunny Australia (not even joking, it's due to hit 42c today :S ), and I'm sipping my coffee and cowering away from the heat whilst youtubing. As one will inevitably do they will come across a Gary Fong vid.
I got to this point in the vid;
The Gary Fong Lightsphere Wedding And Event Kit - YouTube
And my ears twitched. "Oh... I have that diffuser and dome!"... "... oh... but I've actually never done custom WB or anything like that before" (with my K-1 or KP), so it got me thinking;
a) Is Gary Fong talking smack right now, about his diffuser being decent for this purpose?
b) I've never done custom WB, don't even know
how to do it on my cameras, is there anything/advice to help bruce with this sorta thing? Is it worth it? I mean I typically shoot RAW anyway, and if WB looks weird I play with WB in LR to get something more natural looking. I take it if you make a custom WB for scenario A with the diffuser, leave it on, and then change and move environments you'd need to do it all over again (or flip off it and back to something safer like AWB) otherwise things could go weirdly wrong?
So yeh, basically opening up for a dialogue for discussion about Custom WB. I've only ever really used the camera presets, especially when taking my Lego 'studio' indoor shots, AWB gets the white wrong a fair bit with that I find.
