  • Make your own white balance filter. Take a standard UV filter, and cut out tracing paper in a circle...now fit it inside the UV filter, screw it on camera...and presto...your very own white balance filter.

  • Great idea Bryan - certainly a way to refine the concept a bit.

  • what kind of toilet paper are you using? this is a real question.

  • Two ply something. Likely whatever was on sale.

    In all seriousness though, it shouldn't matter, as long as it's a fairly neutral white.

  • @shiweesh2 there's no doubt that this gap between what is semi professional and pro is little now. d7000 is perhaps all many of us want. go to... freedslr . cong change cong with com and get a chance to win a Brand New Nikon D7000

  • always have to make sure it is not second hand toilet paper. trying to get those stains out of your camera is really difficult! :)
