Custom White Balance

Well it tells you how to do this in the manual, but who ever reads them? ;)

Why do you need to use Custom White Balance? Because Canons, and most other makes and models do a terrible job with Auto White Balance in anything other than broad daylight. If you're shooting at a gig, or indoors without flash, or just want perfect colour rendition for a product shot, you need to know CWB. The good news is it's easy, and a few little tricks mean you don't even have to spend money!

Haven't uploaded much recently, due to the site redesign and downtime, and OK, plain sheer laziness. My latest four are among the finest I've done though, so hope yez like them!

SteveFE's intro

Most of my pics are unrestricted use, but I'd appreciate an email or message if you use them for something really cool. Thanks!

PS virtually all of my black-and-whites or photoshopped jobs can also be made available in ordinary colour - just email me and I'll send it on. They're all saved as raw files and can be sent as you like - jpg, psd or tiff. Some of the skies are exposure blended to get the contrast right, so state if you want the SXC version or the original (usually blander) version!
