Photography Question

The Expodisc


Has anyone heard of the Expodisc. I found it while doing some research on white balance. I haven't had any formal training, I learn everything by studying myself. The exposdisc is supposed to create the perfect white balance, without a gray card and only minor work in editing after the picture is taken. I have a Nikon D100 that I will use it with. Thanks for the help.

  The matrix metering of the D100 is pretty damn good, I don't think it is necessary. The ExpoDisc is also pretty expensive ($90 for 58mm), as much or more than an incident light meter (which would be more useful), which is what the ExpoDisc emulates.

See http://www.popphoto.com/article.php?section_id=4&article_id=796 for an inexpensive but effective way to fine tune your exposures.

  Sorry, responded with respect to metering exposure rather than white balance. Are you having trouble getting the proper white balance? I'd be surprised since besides the presets for typical lighting it has an auto function and can also be adjusted manually.
