Ok...I'm reading a lot about white balance...I guess my biggest question is
how FAR from the lens should you hold your "white" object in order to pick
up the lighting/color correction at the given depth? I assume that if you hold
it too close you won't pick up the "depth" you are shooting at, and if you
hold it too far away it could give a false reading also.
Which then leads to the NEXT question, how large of an object should you have for this?
AND what are the benefits of using gray vs. white? I don't use a slate, but
I've also heard that using the sandy bottom works....
Thanks for any help, I've learned a lot by reading through some of these threads, and hopefully, I'll be able to use some of the tips I've picked up!
