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.
Yeah, I've used the Custom WB and it is pretty easy to use. BTW, the
manual informs you to use a plain white surface, like a sheet of paper,
rather than grey. Seems not to matter though, judging by your results.
Great shots! I really like that leading one up the aisle toward the
presenter.
I see a lot of noise in a few of them. You may want to invest in a noise
reduction app. ACR's noise reduction is pretty good for most cases, but
for really challenging cases (eg underexposed ISO 1600 or 3200 from the
K100D) I use the Imagenomic app/plugin. The key I find is to apply
progressively more NR to Darks and Shadows, and to be really
conservative in the amount applied. Over-applied, It's too easy to make
people's skin look like plastic.
