Better white balance in your images with the white half transparent plastic tray
We produce alot of photos where white balance is wrong and you can use an ordinary plate to get it right. There are lots of expensive accessories for better white balance, which we really do not need to buy. ColorRight or Expo Disc is really not necessary. I bought before a white semi-transparent tray from 
IKEA for 15 swedish crowns, which I used it to make a small light table. When I was out in the woods and photographed my students, I felt that it would have been easy to simply be able to set my own white balance. It can be done effectively with a gray card, but it is simpler and more direct with a white balance filter. Gray cards works in all contexts. It makes what no white balance filters.
I sawed to pieces out of my tray from Ikea and got quite suddenly a white balance filter that allows me to easily configure a custom white balance. I put that into the front of the lens and then taking a picture. Then, I go into the settings and select the picture I took with white balance filter that “Custom White Balance”. You must not forget to ask about white balance mode to “Custom White Balance”. I usually use that “AWB” and it usually corrects the white balance is okay, but it can just as often make it very weird. You look at my pictures difference where I have used “AWB” and where I am using my own white balance. Anyone can shoot in jpg format has perhaps a greater use of this tip because it is relatively easy to adjust the white balance afterwards when shooting in Raw. The big gain is that it saves time by having the right white balance from the start.
