Who is this guitarrist?

Wow. My perception of Bobbi Lane has really changed in the last week. I was introduced to her via some old instructional videos at school that I found a bit still and dated :( Now she shows up in a rather good book I'm reading as co-author (Advertising Photography) and finally this YouTube video has proved her rather creative and cool... rock on Bobbi Lane! :)

I spy a MiniTT1 on a D700 here. Is a release coming soon for Nikon?

(continued) One other advantage of having a custom white balance first is that the preview on the camera is a small JPEG generated from the RAW file using the current camera settings including white balance. Having this set correctly will result in a more accurate rendition on the cameras display.

(continued) This data is not ignored, it just isnt automatically applied. When the RAW file is then opened in your Raw conversion software of choice (Adobe Camera Raw, Lightroom, Capture One, etc.) all of those camera settings are available as the default settings to use when converting to JPEG, Tiff or PSD. Having a custom white balance set at capture means one less thing to adjust for because the correct setting is already dialed in.

@eyecatchme True. WB isnt directly applied. Years of working with film, mixed light and color meters has caused me to be more of a Pre-production shooter. I called on my resident expert for X-rite, Lightroom and RAW file processing and this his take on the process:

While it is true that no camera settings are Applied to the RAW file when it is written to the memory card, all of the camera settings are included in the metatdata along with the RAW file.

Here, getting it right up front means very little post process of color. And any correction you make to one image can be smoothly applied the batch. So, its all about knowing the outcome because you are in control of it. And with all the extra time you have not fighting with post processing you can take up a new hobby like golf and get to know your family better. Its a win-win.
