IMG_3645.jpg



Not sure what went wrong with the white balance here. This is white balanced for the Kodak gray card. However, the "grass" (cellophane?) is far too blue. Lighting was indirect flash, bounced off an almost white ceiling, and some (weak) overhead tungsten light. The color temperature from the gray card reading came out to be 4800K, which is far too low for flash, of course. The next image has the white balance set to flash (6250K), and the colors are better, but not completely accurate. The gray card is quite yellow, though.
