Question #1:

When manually adjusting WB, for inside is it better to use lower degrees like 3000 and say 5700 degrees for out side?


Question #2:

Where online can I get my medium format 120 film developed?




Thanks for the help

1. Depends on the time of day, whether the subject is in shadow, etc, etc. You could try just adjusting until it looks right - this isn't very accurate but will usually suffice. Or you could find something in the photo that is supposed to be a pure gray and set white balance from that.

Wouldn't setting the white balance to auto, shoot raw and adjusting in post processing be quicker and easier? But if you want to set in camera, what about picking up a grey card at your local photo shop. Mine is small at 4x5 and cost something like $2.

The OP mentioned "manually adjusting WB" which I took to mean that RAW was used. Normally this term implies RAW, whereas when editing a JPG I would expect the term "remove a color cast" or something similar. Or so I assume.

A grey card is the ideal way to get it correct when the shot is taken.
