Today I went and bought yet another lens cap. I seem to lose them on a weekly basis lately. This time the shop owner convinced me to buy the white balance lens cap. He says it makes using the custom WB feature a breeze because you don’t have to cart around a gray card. Sounded good to me. You just snap a photo with the lens on and set it. I tried it this afternoon for the first time and this is the result.
Doesn’t seem very accurate in terms of colour and light to me. But I actually like the effect. It gives Chrysanthemum a very surreal, Alfred Hitchcock look.
Here’s one using the gray card method. Colours are more realistic. Creepy chicken though.
