There was a thread here sometime in the last few days about setting
white balance in stage-lighting conditions. I didn't pay that much
attention and have deleted the thread. But this evening I was
perusing the current issue of Outdoor Photography and noticed an ad
for "the missing link in digital photography."
The link is here: http://www.lallyphotography.com/store/
The "missing link" looks like a miniature shower cap - a piece of
flexible plastic with an elastic collar that you would fit over the
front of a lens. Actually, even more than a shower cap, it reminds me
of the elasticized plastic cover you might buy to place over a small
dish of left-overs in the refrigerator. But presumably the optical
transmission of this particular plastic makes it particularly suited
for the purpose of establishing a custom white balance in any
lighting conditions. The material/construction is such that you could
tuck it into a pocket or corner of your camera bag. Or use it as a
soft lens cap while your camera is in the bag...
The concept makes sense. I leave it to you to decide if it is worth
the $29 +$3 S&H. If someone does try it, I wold be interested in your
assessment of the results.
