How are wildlife photographers setting the custom WB where they are taking a long shot and not close to the subject?
What is the difference between using an 18% gray card and using any white object as a reference? Is there a difference in video or photo quality?
If using a flash should you also include the light from the flash going off when setting the custom WB knowing that as you walk back to where you will take the shot the flash fill will be dropping off?
I was just about to buy the expodisc and then saw this gem, Gary you are the man you have saved me a few pounds as I aready own and use two of your diffusers, but until now never thought of using them to custom WB, thank you for this very helpfull tip.
Does this technique tend to work well with the video settings on the 5D Mark ii as well? I would imagine so unless you are moving a ton...

What is the camera setting for the reference image???
I have viewed scores of videos and reviews on various white cap
models and not one tells the setting. My camera is a 60d and
it has to be set to some WB for any shot. The only thing I can think
is that maybe it doesnt matter for taking the ref shot. Can anyone
help with this. Cheers.

@ddescvvb i dont think it matters because its using your image as the reference for white balance

Well I got to try this technique today for a photoshoot. And It actually worked.
I did it the way you suggested but I also tried it with the flash on. With some tweaking I can use this technique more often. Thanks again.
