White Balance
Posted on Sunday, July 12, 2009 in Photography
What is the best way to set your white balance when you have a polarizing lens?
I have a Nikon D80 and was wondering what's the best way to set my white balance when using a polarizing lens (I don't do auto on white balance)?
1. should i take the polarizing lens off, then set the white balance?
or
2 set the white balance with the polarizing lens?
Set WB with the filter on the lens. Otherwise, you wouldn't be getting true white, would you? Happy shooting.
