ExpoImaging ExpoDisc 77mm Digital Warm Balance Solution Filter for Digital Still & Video Cameras

I was optimistic about buying the Expodisc at first since it was expensive and there are others out there that are cheaper, but after using the expodisc at a wedding I had really bad lighting at and my flash is not great the Expodisc came to the rescue. I will not take pictures now without it since I can import them into Lightroom or iPhoto and do my touch-ups faster and easier and the pics come out great without doing anything to them at all if the white balance is set correctly and that is what the ExpoDisc is all about. No coffee filters for me are grey cards either. I believe in fast and accurate and that is what I am getting now.

I bought both the WB and the WB warm. They can produce unexpected results. Frankly I think a coffee filter works almost as well.

I have been a longtime ExpoDisc user, having owned the original White Balance correction Expodisc for several years.

I wish now that I had purchased this one instead. I photography a lot of concerts and plays and prior to getting this Expodisc always struggled with skin tone. The original Expodisc would get the white balance right but not the skin tone under incandescent light.

But the Warm Balance solution version does! I recently photographed a concert and took over 500 photos after setting a custom WB with the Warm Balance Solution and every shot was perfect.

A little while a go I took prom pictures and got marvelous skin tone on every shot.

If you take a lot of portrait photos then this is a must have tool. One I highly recommend.

This is great tool for professional photographers. I recommend that if you like your photos with a warm tone, or if you normally use the cloudy white balance setting on your digital slr, that you invest a hundred dollars in this product. It works for both jpeg and raw files, it's quick as 1,2,3 and unlike a grey card or a Whibal (if you don't know what that is, then you're not a professional but an extreme hobbyist and probably wouldn't get the most out of the Expodisc anyway.) you don't have to go into Photoshop or Nikon View or some other editing software and correct every picture using the target shot as a reference.

Just pop this disc on to the lens, stand in the position of your subject and point towards the
shooting location. Pop off a shot with an acurate exposure and there you go.
Its really that easy. Sure sometimes its off a bit becuase the light changes, but do a
guick new white balance and your good to go.

Yes its sometimes hard to keep up with quickly changing color temp. in the field. But
a quick 75% accurate white balance is closer then nothing.

Whats really nice is it just snaps in with three bumps and is secure, you dont have to worry about
screwing up threads. And if you own multiple lens sizes, you can just buy the largest and hold it up
to the smaller lens and it works.
