Boudoir Weekend

Monday, January 12th, 2009

I had a couple great boudoir sessions this weekend. However, I can’t show you any images from them yet as they are gifts and I don’t want to chance ruining their surprise! So, this is all you get for now!

Saving money & still getting the proper white balance.

For my readers interested in photography here’s a tutorial on a white balance contraption that I use. It allows for custom white balance and is extremely inexpensive compared to some other $80+ white balance products on the market.

It’s a clear Pringles lid with a circle cut out of a coffee filter and attached.

How it’s attached:

Finished:

What you do is hold it up to your light source filling the camera frame, adjust to properly expose, snap the photo (you’ll need to do this on manual focus). Then follow your camera manual for custom white balance on your camera.

Here are the results, it works awesome & you can see has the best results!

Also, that beautiful (although hard to see in this photo) necklace is for my sister’s birthday and can be found HERE if you’d also like to get yourself one!
