Coffee Lids for White Balancing in a Pinch

Coffee Lids for White Balancing in a Pinch: "Coffee Lids for White Balancing in a Pinch
If you need some quick white balancing for whatever reason, and don’t have a white balance card or Expodisc handy, you can try using a standard coffee cup lid. Photographer Steve Bennet always has some lids lying around in his car, and found that they work as rough white balancing tools.

A Few Words about Photography.

Make pictures, don't take pictures.

Most new photographers should MOVE in closer for the
majority of their photographs.

Frame your subject and keep your eye
in the view finder and on the shutter release.

Try to take pictures using NON-automatic settings.
Get use to shutter and aperature priority settings.

Take a lot of pictures.  Take the same ones
over.

You don't have to have an expensive camera
to make good images.

-More later, I'm sure.
