@blessingscaptured, I shoot in RAW and just adjust in post-processing as well. It’s not a big deal for me. But getting it right in camera is always a good idea, so it’s something I’d like to grow in as well particularly if it becomes more of an issue for me, like you were describing.
I don’t have an expo disc myself, so don’t want to comment much but I did recently hear someone who uses one say that they will face the same direction as their subject when using the expo disc, so they color it is capturing is the color light that will be landing on the subject’s face, not the color of light behind the subject. This was in context of outdoor portrait photography, using natural light. And they adjust it every time they move into a different lighting setting, or as the light changes. That made sense to me. If you’re exposing for the subject’s face, it makes sense you’d change your WB in context of the light that’s hitting your subject’s face as well. Anyways, I’m not sure if I explained that well, but it might be worth experimenting with. 🙂
Interested to hear others’ comments on this topic!
