I need some assistance
Actually I can trial and error... but some opinions would be nice for my cuckoo brain biggrin.gif

Nowadays when I shoot people, I tend to use flash all the time (HVL-F42AM)
For indoors I use WB 5300 because the flash WB is 5300 - the colours produced are superb
For outdoors in the shade, the same WB 5300 also produce the same colours

However, under the sun with WB 5300, I get a yellow tint, basically the photos look yellow.

Which WB should I try the next time I shoot people with flash under the sun?

just my noob comment:

Sunlight should be around 2600k~2800k if i`m not mistaken...

since ur flash is 5300k, the penetration of 5300k is weaker than 2600k..which means the sunlight will still penetrate through some of your 5300k rays.

ok, now to camera setting, i`m unsure how the camera works but:
Try lowering ur WB to 5000k or 4800k? ( i assume that ur light source now will be lesser than 5300k due to penetration of yellow rays from the sunlight.

correct me if i`m wrong, noob here....

hehe...a big ass lens would be damn cool man...make your SLR look more "fierce" tongue.gif cant wait to molest yours spooky...hehe

F2.8 and F3.5 will surely give difference in terms of DOF and speed. ahah mine normal lens only:)

guys....jz now saw someone talking bout WB....
u guys use AWB or set by ourself??
i wanna know wats the setting for indoor shots and outdoor shots??
wats the WB for f58am....?
*
I will avoid using AWB if i can. If i`m outdoor, i will use daylight. esp when i`m indoor, i eitehr go for custom or tungsten because i shoot in yellow light indoor most of the time. Using AWB gives a super orangy color which is wrong....sad.gif

QUOTE(sidewinderz @ Feb 12 2009, 02:33 PM)
somehow i got the impression that if i have a f2.8 lens, i wont need a tripod to take night shots..is that true? tongue.gif and does focus system improve with a better lens? able to detect dark subjects better? smile.gif


Added on February 12, 2009, 2:34 pm

AWB all the way unless i want some special "feel" to my pic.. smile.gif
*
Well, not for me though. my shots are mostly indoor (dinner time) lo light, 2.8 isnt really sufficient to capture movemeny. static wise its good enough...to capture movements i need 1/60 or above...depends on individual, some always shoot at 2.8 and they are happy with it, for me, i try to shoot at f4 nowdays because i want a super sharp pic, (pixel freak)

side note: big filter not good lo, heavy!

bro...if shoot pix while in indoor wat how many Ks u use in custom temperature??
coz i dunno wat number should i use??
*
I cant tell u exact how many K....u can either use the preset "tungsten" WB for yellow light...and flouresant for the flouresant tube.

btw, normal car light (halogen not HID) is around 2600k...so gauge la..heheheh...
BMW, MERZ, CAMRY, HARRIER (other continental/stock HID) is 4300k
