...from an occasional wedding 'tog
Doing my second wedding of the year next weekend, woot. The venue is a stately old pile oft used for the purpose. I was talking to the managers there and asked them what sort of lightbulbs they use (e.g. tungsten, LED, halogen etc), because I'll be using a lot of on-camera bounced flash (coz it's a bit gloomy in there, but with white ceilings fortunately) and want to gel it up appropriately. Anyway, they told me that all the rooms have a mix of those three lighting types and more, so the colour temperature will be all over the place. My question is, do I just leave my camera on AWB (I'm shooting RAW), or, for the purposes of consistency, with the preview Jpegs at least, is there a 'best setting' one of you recommend I use? I'm quite aware that I may be missing the finer point of how white balance works on a Canon, so happy for any suggestions based on experience, ta
