Some nice shots here. I like the two girls with the snake, and Kyle
Petty with the lizard. Well he looks like Kyle Petty:-).

Shooting in RAW does not negate the benefits of setting a custom
white balance.

I shot a presentation on the animals of Australia that was
held at our
public library last night.
I wasn't happy with the results from the auto white
balance and after
a few frames I decided to set a custom white balance.
And I'm really impressed. Pentax's custom white
balance is so much
easier to set than Canon's.
With Canon you shoot your reference shot. Then find the
menu for
setting the custom balance, then find the reference image
you shot and
select it. Then you select the custom white balance option.
I had never read the manual on the Pentax white balance, so
I just
selected custom WB from the WB menu. It asked if I wanted
to shoot a
reference image, so I found a kid at the event with a light
grey shirt
and took a picture. The camera asked if the image was okay
and I hit
okay and that was that.
The photos from the event are here:

The lady with the parakeet was the first image shot after
setting the
custom WB, everything before was shot on auto and
"fixed in post."
I didn't have to tweak the colors of the images shot on
custom at all.
I love it.
