Thats funny. The computer “correction” could indeed have been factually correct as her daughter may have just woken up. LOL.One should check their post (me) to see if spell check changed something.
My sister on Easter sent me greetings, Christine has risen (she happens to have a daughter Christine), instead of Christ has risen.

And you have referenced the original, which no doubt contains all the basics that are needed to make good pictures today. Technology changes but those fundamental principles do not change.

There is always a tell when someone only reads the original post and none of the other posts. First, your grammer.
WalMart* has only one "L".
Second, why would anyone go there considering the poor quality of most of their products.
As one example, their passport photos are regularly rejected.
Go to a professional photo store.

You wait for them? I thought you ordered them on-line!!I have two very large (24x30) prints Walmart did, (while I waited), about 5 years ago and so far, no visible signs of fading or discoloration. Nice vivid colors. Also have had multiple 5x7's and 8x10's with no problem..... so far.
God Bless,

First thank you for the paper. Well written, well illustrated, and informative, and I leaned from it. Those who know the least about white balance are more likely to be nervous about what it's all about.
The more you learn about white balance the more likely you will be to agree with me.
Take a look at this paper on Basic White Balance. You might find something that will make your approach to photograaaphy easier.

Just an FYI, I am not nervous about WB. I have read a lot about it and I am always willing to read to learn more. I learned from you paper, thank you. Sometimes I will use artistic license and choose a different WB to intentionally insert or intensify a color cast. Other times I will try for accurate color. I did find it very inofrmative the examples in the paper using Daylight WB. I often do my own experiments to see the effects of different settings, but that is one I have not done.
Regarding JPG vs raw I shoot a lot of JPG. I shoot a lot, I try to shoot every day. I don't want 50 MB raw files of all shots, I don't need raw files of my grand kids with dirt on their faces. LOL. I do shoot raw when I feel it makes sense.
Having said all that, I just did an experiment. I shot an outdoor scene with AWB and with Tungsten WB, both raw and jpg. Pulled them all into LR and they pretty much look the same. The incorrect WB images are quite blue on both JPG and raw pics. Having to adjust for incorrect WB is a PIA. So that is why I want the WB to be correct in camera shooting raw or JPG. I recently had to do that for multiple pics I took at a party. Not fun and I don't see any difference in the difficulty of adjusting incorrect raw WB vs incorrect JPG WB. Maybe I'm missing something?
Again thank you for the informative article.

It looks like Cape Cod is not in the path of full totality. :( But you are not far from full totality if you want to drive a bit.

I think I will give Walmart (one L) a try for a print for my wall. What could it hurt?

To put it simply,.......the "Rule of Thumb",.....thru the viewfinder of the camera.
What is the "rule of thumb"? And Is it truly a rule or more like a guideline? ;)
