White balance auto vs PRE w/ expodisc?
So here's my brief 2 cents on the ExpoDisc white balance filter:
1. Very easy to use, with Nikon D700 all you do is move your white balance to "Pre", then hold your white balance button down till "Pre" starts to blink. Then place the ExpoDisc over your lens for a tight fit, take a photo. On the display it should read "Good". Now your camera's white balance is dialed in.
2. Taking shots I have noticed both indoor with off camera diffused flash and outdoors, you will receive what I can best describe as more natural looking photo as my eye's saw the image. So great it does work and it works as ExpoImaging marketing material suggested it would! As I build up more experience I will be posting a more comprehensive review of the ExpoDisc.
Here are a couple shots to illustrate the difference:

but the examples are shot at different angles. Different angle can result in different lighting to affect the image.
Good point, 2nd one is pretty much at same angle. I will take some new ones just for you, with the tripod!
