White Balance Assistant
Drew looks pretty ragged here, and he actually was not feeling well while we were at Comicon. The previous image shows him perked up, about an hour after this image was taken. For the first time in my 5 1/2 year "career" of shooting digital, I've finally started setting a custom white balance with the use of a shot taken of a "gray card". Being very thrifty, instead of buying a pro set of cards for this purpose, I tried out a manilla file folder. I found that it does make a dramatic difference in attempting to get more of the "true color" when shooting. This leads to a lot less work in photo editing to bring an image back to what I recall as the true color of each shot.
