I suspect that this is one of those applications where the ringflash adapter would be handy. Or even one of those speedlight soft box adapters with the speedlight on a cable off to the side a bit. For white balance, take a white balance shot with a grey card. If you don't have a grey card handy, I find that grey metal works great, just put a piece of flatware in the photo and try a few spots on it for your white balance point. In this one, you could just set the white balance off the white paper, then adjust it a bit by hand. > > > > -- > PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List > PDML@pdml.net > http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net > to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow > the directions. -- Larry Colen l...@red4est.com sent from i4est -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
