<p>[QUOTE="MontCollector, post: 3052521, member: 85496"]I'm surprised this is the only mention of white balance on this thread. No matter what kind of lenses or cameras you use, your white balance needs to be right. On most DSLR cameras this can be adjusted right on your camera. If you have not done this I suggest you do. This will adjust your camera to your lights. If you are using a camera where the white balance can not be manually adjusted, I would suggest you find a program that will do this for you in editing. Gimp has a really easy to use white balance checker for instance, and is free to DL and use. </p><p><br /></p><p>I know most cameras have an Auto white balance feature, but this is more useful for taking photos outdoors when the lighting keeps changing. However when using your camera under fixed lighting like we do, adjusting your white balance to your lights will produce better looking more accurate shots.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
