Common Kelvin White Balance Settings :
2500K - very strong orange tungsten light
2800K - strong orange tungsten light
3200K - yellowish tungsten light
4500K M6 - flourescent light (most flourescent tubes are green even though our eyes don't see it)
5500K - flash
6500K - daylight (or daylight-balanced flourescent light)
9900K - strong blue stage lighting or evening light

Xenon lighting is rare but that should be between 7000-9000K.

Whenever you enter a new situation that has different WB, just set your Kelvin WB again and test with one shot. You

should be able to do this with practice.

With the Sony A300 and A350, you can use Live View and see the effect of changing Kelvin WB... live!

M = Magenta
G = Green
2500K = Blue
9900K = Amber

Take a picture. Supposing the picture is very Green, you need to add the opposite which is Magenta. If the picture is

too Blue you need to go closer to Amber. So if the picture is very blue-green-ish, you will need to go closer to 9900K

M9.

To prevent the built-in flash from appearing in pictures when in wireless flash mode, you can use any of these

methods, or a combination of them:

- use a darker aperture (e.g. F11)
- use a lower ISO (e.g. ISO100)
- use a shutter speed faster than your flash sync speed so that High Speed Sync is activated (e.g. 1/320th of a

second)
- use a piece of exposed, developed negative film in front of your pop-up flash

guys,

as i know, we can trigger flash wirelessly and we can set the channel in flash gun .. so that the other wouldnt trigger our flash ..

i know how to change the channel on flash gun but how do i change the channel in camera? ..


Added on August 17, 2009, 7:00 pm
oo thanks ..

wow .. sp90 can produce such a good picture .. biggrin.gif . my next target should be sp90 la .. biggrin.gif .. btw, sp90 can be used on FF right (just in case i upgrade to FF in next decade) .. hahaha .. tongue.gif .

yes i m using sp90 on my a900 but most of my portrait shots were done by my sal 50mm 1.4.

QUOTE(tot31 @ Aug 17 2009, 08:32 PM)
I agree with that...that's why I'm still using my kit lens..why should I opt for a more expensive lens since I can get good results on my kit lens. The most important thing to me is the customer satisfaction, if they're happy, I'm also happy. So far I'm getting good feedbacks, non complaints. Some even reengaged me.  biggrin.gif

Agree with you, once upon a time i made the same mistake by buying lens that i finally rarely use.
