Day #26 - Grey Card Exposure

I finally decided to break out the gray card I bought a few weeks back. I used it to both set the exposure AND the CWB. WOW...... the color and skin tone is SPOT on!! All 3 of these pics are SOOC except for cropping/border. I didn't sharpen for the web, so they are flatter than IRL.

My kids weren't much in a photo mood- as Boy #2 and The Girl both had some 24hr flu bug today :( Thankfully at age 4 they are pretty good about being sick though- all they want is a cozy place to watch TV and snuggle in :)

I'll be playing more with this idea- one thing about our house is that we LOVE color, so our rooms are all painted different and bright/dark colors- so color casting is an issue in several of the rooms. So now I'll have to try the grey card thing in all the rooms and see what difference it makes :)

Still on an all natural light- no flash- kick. This month being forced to mess with ISOs has been rather liberating. I'm no longer afraid of high ISOs! :)
