white balance card, in spanish?

Maybe just maybe, some photographer will not only know what a white balance card is, but know how to go into a non English speaking photo lab, where they only speak Spanish and ask for a white balance card?

With trash your photos bucket the way it is, I have taken to prints of 15 x 20 cm. Something about holding a photo in your hands, makes a person want to try harder to get it right.

Take a good look at Jhandy. On the net you do not look at her for long, because of the ugly no good hash mark. Her mother sells medicinal plants. The older the indians are, the more medecinal plants they buy. when I hold her photo in hand, I notice the flaws. A white balance card would help. I do not tote a computer with me when I travel, 18% gray wont help me.

I would like to give Jhandy´s mother a nice big 20 x 30 print, when I go back up there. Even better, take her picture again with a perfect white balance.

Test to see it it is possible to view without the watermark.
When I go to your album, I don't see watermarks. So I "save image as" to see if the image is free of watermarks. Before, when I simply reposted the Photobucket link (without the watermark) the watermark returned later on and was seen right away by others here.





I am not seeing any watermark... anyone else see one?

You can easily adjust the white balance after the shot in jpeg and especially if you captured a 'raw' image

I like the whites of the eye for children. Notice this will look a bit different from your shot.



Of course you have the problem of trying to get the lab to print out the way you want the picture to turn out and there are issues of gamuts and calibration of printers and monitors and all kinds of factors that can make that difficult.

Good luck!

One with the ugly hash mark that says do not use trash your photosbucket, two without at the moment.

Do play with



the white balance




in your camera




buy a spare battery




and keep playing

But sooner or late you might want to get the correct white balance.





I couple of interesting facts.
If the people at the photo lab ask you about your photos or come out from behind the counter to look at them , you are doing something right.

Jhandy´s mother does not make $200 a month. You, (your rich toyota driving self,) can not afford the clothes she wears! The sweater she wears can be sold in San Francisco for $600, no idea how much her full length wool skirts cost, into the thousands if you live in San Francisco.

Who has a happier life?






Who knows how to ask the clerk for a white balance card in Spanish?

Joe, I commented about the watermark and how it was removed. Pay the minimum level for Photobucket membership. The free accounts apparently have the watermark. That is better than nothing, as they made third party hosting images vanish a year or two ago when they decided to make members pay for third party hosting (posting on forums). You have a free option: www.postimages.org and select the size to 800 pixels Max width to fit here.

the post is not about white balance cards - it is about fishing for compliments "Look how wonderful my images are" they are so?

Wouldn't a sheet of white printer paper would as a white balance card?
