The exception is product photography which is an area where it is important to nail the white balance because you are showing the product as…"
Tony Guy replied to Paul Chambers's discussion White balance"The purist say WB should be correct per the conditions at shooting. As CC says you can shoot a grey card or use other reference points if you want to be pedantic. In practice the only person that counts is yourself.
If you want to know…"
Paul Chambers replied to Paul Chambers's discussion White balance"I also shoot auto white balance, so by using a grey card you are setting the white balance as correct but what what i mean is if its cloudy and you use a white balance other than cloudy is this incorrect even though it may be the most…"

CameraClicker replied to Paul Chambers's discussion Need Advice on wide angle lenses"I have Sigma's 10-20 mm. A Sigma 18-250 is usually on my T2i. I change to the 10-20 when 18 is too wide. I use the zoom and don't change back until 20 is too short."
Tony Guy replied to Paul Chambers's discussion Need Advice on wide angle lenses"Hi Paul

See: http://www.kenrockwell.com/tokina/11-16mm.htm

CameraClicker replied to Paul Chambers's discussion Choosing a Lens"These are both the Sigma EX 10-20mm F4-5.6, at 10 mm, hand held with ISO cranked up to 3200. The buildings are curved, that is not caused by the lens.

CameraClicker replied to Paul Chambers's discussion Choosing a Lens"I have the Canon mount version of Sigma EX 10-20mm F4-5.6, which works well. I also have a Canon 16-36 mm f/2.8 L lens that gives the same angle of view on a full frame body. Both are good lenses. The f/2.8 aperture is a little…"

You can connect to other photographers by joining forums and also by sending them mails directly or posting on their page. You can do this if you have any inquiries about a particular photographer's technique of capturing a particular photo. I have done this myself and many are friendly enough to answer. Happy shooting.
