Question from Mcfarlane: “what are the correct settings to use in a church wedding? I did one at a lutheran church that was notorious for yellow looking pictures. I had to do A TON of editing to get them to look good, I cant remember what setting I used on my Canon 50D, but I was just wondering what are the ideal setting to use with the lights in a church?”
Morgan: If you can, just set a custom exposure with a grey card! It will help a ton!
Christina: Yes I agree. Set your custom white balance using a grey card. It’s amazing how well it works!
Roger: Use the grey card with a white board or sheet of white paper…you will get an even better result.
Laura: Is there a good site on a tutorial for this? Never used a grey or white card.
Isabel: I have a question, what is a ‘grey card’ ?
Timothy: Just get an Expodisc. Much easier.
Golden Photography: Yes, Expodisc all the way!
Shay: Wondering the same things!
Alicia: Google gray card tutorial but yes love my expodisc!
Timothy: Forget the grey card people. Expodisc is better
Lindsay: Grey cards are to balance your white. If you use a grey card you won’t have yellow from incandescent lights or green from fluorescent.
Cheryl: Love my white card!
Christie: I love white sheet of printer paper!
Melissa: Usually I have someone hold a newspaper and set a custom white balance off of that. Maybe not uber professional, but for me it works pretty well–gives you skin tones plus black and white.
