Because it is thin/transparent, unless it is a pure white cardboard than that would be a better options.. If you are so concerned about WB, maybe you can get an EXPO Disc which would give u accurate WB at the same time convenient! You'll save plenty of time that way I would normally shoot in Auto WB in events and all and manipulate later in post processing! Here's a link for more information on EXPO Disc! http://www.expoimaging.com/product-overview.php?cat_id=1 May i know where could i get ExpoDisc? Camera shop got sell? And roughly how much for it? I can alter WB in post processing, but as copperwire93 mentioned, sometimes it is not convenient to edit every single shot. Sometimes after the event even will forgot how the actual scene WB looks like.

Fall in love with audio again. Senior Member 3,112 posts Joined: Jul 2006	Forgot to ask. Sunday morning when they took pic, suddenly the viewfinder looks blur, switch to liveview also same, it remained for around 10 minutes before resume back to normal. I guess is some mist inside the mirror. That day is rainy day and rained non stop since day before, but i put inside the camera bag. How can it happen? As the lens is close system right? Did you guy experience this before? This post has been edited by coolkwc: Dec 3 2013, 03:29 PM

I never had the balls to take this kind of shots Scared later ppl thought I wanna steal car haha, face problem XD Great photos man! Keep it up! I like all 3 of them~~ The pose of the Malay Dartlet in the 1st shot is very good, its just too bad that sometimes the background will be pitch black when there's nothing (leaves) for the flash to hit lol... this can be solved by printing some leaves on A4 paper and used as background XD Though I am kind of lazy to do that haha, like cheating XD #2 is quite good also, just that the abdomen is out of focus already, might be better if the magnification is not so high = more DOF #3 is the best among the 3, since its shot from afar, there's more DOF, and both ant heads are in focus, which is no easy task! Kudos! QiAnG, you are from Miri too? Perhaps next time can ask you all help me collect some samples for research Yep bro I'm from Miri, sure no problem, haha. Thanks for the input bro, trying to go out a lot and take a lot, somehow its quite hard to get most parts of the insects in focus. I think I'll try focus further and crop in. Have to start getting bracket too, missed so many shots of spiders because the light cant hit inside part of the plant. What a tiring hobby. haha

I only shoot in RAW, RAW+Jpeg file size is too huge for D3200 as the pixel count is high. Now shoot in RAW alone 16GB memory card only can store around 500 photos only. Just wonder LR will have the limitation if the WB is gone too far. Now i'm towards taking photo as close as what i saw rather than shots with creative effect. Is it just a dream for entry level cam + kitlens? This post has been edited by coolkwc: Dec 3 2013, 05:15 PM

On my way Senior Member 693 posts Joined: Dec 2007	QUOTE(copperwire93 @ Dec 3 2013, 01:37 PM) Like bro Gunzerdude, Past experience of me shooting an event in a hall, I use custom white balance by using white paper as standard measurement. Also used RAW+Jpeg mode. If the white balance fail, I can use the raw to recover the white balance, if the photo has alright white balance, than I stick to the JPEG. Too lazy to retouch every photos. For face stuff, I usually make use of radial filter or brush tool to balance the exposure. Not sure if it's right thing to do, but most of the time it works. Ate that fly already. Nice one~ QUOTE(coolkwc @ Dec 3 2013, 01:43 PM) Thanks bro. For upcoming event is hold in a hall, so the lighting is same throughout the hall, and i compare with the hall used in last Sunday, the lighting also same kind of yellow cast. For solution 2: Let say i using white A4 paper, where should i shoot the white paper for preset WB? At the hall on spot or under sun light? If you're shooting indoors, of course preset WB under the indoor lighting condition la, what for preset outdoors and then shoot indoors? Oh yeah, expodisc pretty darn expensive, I recommend this instead It's a white balance lens cap, dual purpose and around 10 bucks only. But I wouldn't recommend using any kind of stuff like this outdoors, since these tools (expodisc or white balance cap) only measure color temperature in close proximity settings, doesn't take into account varying temps in shade or in open areas.

No problem man, if you shoot in RAW you can recover the WB just fine regardless of the lens you use.

It was raining heavily for the first round, Thank God I brought my cap! Which shielded the rain from my eyes! Normally I would wear my Rain Jacket but I pinjam-ed it to a friend of mine Yeaps! The 70-200 is the perfect lens to bring along, it is because I was in the track itself.. The first corner of sepang, you could use a 16-35mm for some amazing panning shots!
