 p.2 #3 · ExpoDisc (Worth It or Not Worth It) | |
and a more recent example with the nikon d700.
The difference again is huge. And although none of the renderings is completely accurate the expodisc comes very close.
now the funny thing is that right in the next room from the one you see, i tried to take again a preset WB with the Expodisc, NO WAY. 4 times i tried and i was getting a "no good". The light, its true, was a mix from different sources and there was no way I could get my camera meter through the expodisc. Worse than that is something that I had not faced before.
After every false attempt I was returning to Auto WB, taking the shot and the shot was coming out all red. Even worse the camera was stucked to this red Auto WB and no matter what I was doing all my auto WB after that was coming out red. I tried everything (switching it off, taking the battery out...) could not make it. Finally in one last attempt it came back to normal.
To make a long story short, I retry to take a metering with the expodisc another 4 times. The exact same thing happen. I gave up. I continued in AUTO.
Here it is with no pp again.

I wanted to post a pic of the difference but I deleted the pictures by mistake. 
Anyway, thanks for all of your input and I will be at a couple of different gyms this week and will post a few auto vs custom vs expodisc. 
, but you just can't rely on them in all lighting situations. basically, you simply don't know whether it's gonna give you the correct white balance next time you shoot.
