Dear All,
I have just been reading Bryan Peterson's recent book Understanding Digital
Photography. It is an excellent read and I would highly recommend it. In
one part of his book he recommends setting the white balance on the camera to
cloudy +3 . His reasoning for this is it gives his pictures a lot more
warmth and its like shooting Kodak E100Vs in the fact it gives a lot of
saturation.
His chapter certainly got me thinking and i thought I might give it a go with
my ist D. But I would be interested on other members of the group opinion on
this and to know if anyone has tried it.
If you're going to be shooting anything where you may be trying to
edit the color balance, you should really consider shooting RAW. There is
no such thing as setting white balance at the time of the shot if you're
shooting raw... it's all done later without loss of information.
