Now if I were doing something like awards at a podium, where I was in one place, they were in the same light, I'd love to get a grey card shot before it, and I would blow that WB into all of them to be uniform. The automatic white balance in the camera, even when it is not all that good, tends to be better than just one fixed WB for a whole shoot. Even in pretty uniform lighting, like cloudless sun, the shadows on athlete's faces (or not), reflections off of bright uniforms, how close they are to the grass, the angle of the sun on grass relative to me. I shoot sports a lot, and I find trying to use a fixed white balance (whether by a custom temperature in the camera or copying and pasting a fixed white balance later) is pointless. I suppose either will get the job done but am wondering if anybody has recommendation on this issue?īe aware the area you circled are different temperatures, some warmer, some cooler. My questions is this: Is it better to actually set a custom white balance using a gray card before shooting OR use the ColorChecker Passport's White Balance "squares" on the second half of the passport (see attached) to adjust the white balance after the fact using the Passport Photo that I will take a the beginning of the day? I have read discussions about setting a custom white balance on the day you are shooting and it's not a complicated procedure (Canon 80D).īut I also have the X-Rite ColorChecker Passport which I intend to use to get the color right and then created a custom profile in Lightroom CC and then sync the set of the days photos to the new profile (as opposed to using Lightroom's Adobe Standard). This is kind of a one time thing and I don't want to screw this up. So, I am on my way to the Masters Golf Tournament early next month.
I searched and searched and didn't find the exact discussion I was looking for. Apologies if this has been covered elsewhere.
