January 22


I decided today to learn how to do the custom white balance. OMG!! Why haven't I ever learned to do that before?! What a difference it made taking inside photos! This is a wall hanging in Meg's bedroom. She just got it for her birthday and it looks so great in her room.
ISO 800, f/3.5, ss 1/25 and ran Ren's Booster Baby.

I have to admit, I don't set a custom white balance. I know, I know...but this awesome photo has inspired me to do it tomorrow!

This is cute, but you know what I'm loving?.....The fact that you were able to capture purple. That can be very hard to do. You have just inspired me to check out custom white balance.

I haven't played around with custom white balance yet. That's a fun little sign. My DD would die for it.

OH yea...I LOVE CWB. It saves time in editing-even when editing RAW. Nice choice of word.

And here's yet another custom white balance fan you've created! I'm going to check out the 2peas instructions and give it a try tomorrow as well. . .after lunch! I like the simplicity of letters against the wall. Looking forward to meeting you!

Val said...

Cool photo! Yay on it all coming clear!

Mandy said...

You did such a great job on the wb here. I know what you mean about never learning it before, because it does make SUCH a difference, and it isn't hard at all!

Reds said...

REally cute sign!! Think you did great on the white balance!

Becky said...

I'm with you. It really is easy to do CWB once you learn, isn't it? And it's easy to learn. I don't know what took me so long, but what a difference it has made for me.
