White balance in photography using flash

[Seaharrier]

White balance is an absolute nightmare for a professional photographer.

Balance the camera for the colours in your camera settings, fire the flash and when indoors the images appear blue...???!!!???

EVER GET THIS?!!?

Ok. Here is the quick rememdy...

Set your kelvin to 4500 - 5000 (Go with the green and Magenta your camrea sets as flash is only dependant on the blue and yellow)

Minimise your flash output to 1/32, 1/16th/, 1/8th/, even 1/4 depending on the distance... Use a Stofen Ominbounce to minimse the flash and fire...

Play around with the the flash output until the correct colouration is pretty well 'Bang on'!!!

The Kelvin of around 5000 (Outdoors) and 4500 and below (Indoors), playing around with the flash output will help you achieve exceptional images when shooting on manual settings... Lowering the Kelvin settings to below 3500 should see a reduction in flash output to compensate for the blue from the flash vs the yellow indoor light...

Play around with this and you will shoot picture perfect images...

Just a short message, but one that has taken me years to master in wedding photography in Liverpool and Manchester...

I'm not understanding your post Do you have an example?

I don't have a problem with white balance at all, and certainly nothing that can't be sorted in two seconds - with a gel, or a custom WB, or in post processing.

Strikes me as a rather convoluted way of sorting WB. I'm with Richard. Shoot RAW and gel as appropriate.

Strikes me as a rather long post just to include a web link and bit of SEO spamminess.....

You forgot "North West" in this one.
