OK, i fixed the white balance on the series of little green tree frog shots

[Gato Moteado]

if i posted these the other day, it was right after i had rushed through the processing and the white balance was way off. these are better images of this little green tree frog...you'll see that the white balance is much more consistent with the gladiator tree frog shots now.

1. Looks like he would make a fabulous piano player....

2. he would just get the keys all slimy

4. Yes that is true,.. but I couldn't help notice the finger reach,...

... that would be so helpful in negotiating the piano keyboard.

Maybe some spray on degreaser and a wet vacuum to the keyboard after his concert would be appropriate.

He would look sharp dressed in a long tail tuxedo too.

Are you good a photo shop ?

5. I only kid,... your photos are delightful.

8. So, this is what those noisy tree frogs look like?

Years ago, we vacationed in the Ozarks. I couldn't sleep at night because of the tree frogs. When we got home, I couldn't sleep without them. The sound grows on you and serenades you to slumberland.

9. Hate to impose and can you put up a before and after for this novice?

I really don't know how adjusting white balance would effect the final image.

10. damn, i saved the re-edited images over the old ones....

...but the wall was gray behind them in the shots and the colors of the frog weren't accurate. the wall is actually white with a blue tint. when your white balance is off, all of your colors are affected.

11. Got it, thanks.. I seem to remember "back in the day" taking a light meter reading off a

big white board to make the meter readings more true. Is that the same thing?

Love Geo Harrison btw..

12. well, metering is for setting exposure.....old cameras didn't have a white balance setting.....

...you kinda had to know what color temperature your film was made for and use the proper illumination when shooting. most consumer film was made for daylight and was meant to be shot in sunlight or with a flash....but if you shot indoors under incandescent or fluorescent lights, you got a weird color cast.

regarding the card, it's likely you used a gray card, because meters read light to expose for middle gray. but there might have been applications for reading white cards.
