The other day Ian had his car window broken by vandals to get his photo equipment. The auto insurance does not cover his equipment! I urge EVERYONE with any amount of photo equipment to schedule it under your HomeOwner policy. I think the rate is $1.54/$100 value. If scheduled, there is NO deductible. It would be covered anywhere in the world. Good coverage for minimal expense.

How about using ceiling tile (2' X 4')? Fairly inexpensive and not too heavy to transport. These could be leaned against the wall vertically, even if you use just the top 1/2. I like to use T-pins to hang with. I'd use the paper clips mention by another person to clip to the photos and slip onto the t-pin.

Here's our courthouse! One floor and flat to the earth!

There is a "Lessons" forum that covers the White Balance on UHH. I think they are currently on Lesson 4, so you may want to check out the past lessons and then keep up on the lessons to help you learn more about your camera. The "teacher" covers some points in the lesson & then you apply that & post your results. Very good instruction!
