Something I've yet to get into as my "learn my camera" phase has been put on hold by the immediate need to "use my camera" is white balance. Some day I will read this article on white balance. I know the basics. I just have to develop confidence in applying them, and that will come with more knowledge.

You should try Wallace Expo/Disc, it works.

You have your orange tungsten lights, and your blue daylight(and flash), your green flourescents, and you know what should be white in a scene; doesn't really become too complex unless you are mixing the light sources and you have to make a choice as to how much of either looks best.

just get a whitecard, no?
a greycard is great for film. ...i imagine a whitecard for digital could be almost as great. 🙂

it used to be camcorders would include a white translucent lens cap, that would average the light in the scene to help provide a white balance (best used when filling the viewfinder with something that SHOULD be white, first, its the old greycard concept.
