Product Review | The Expodisc

 

 

I put off buying the Expodisc for months. All the items a photographer can purchase such as software, lenses, cameras, etc can hurt a budget. I try to be wise with my money & not purchase every new toy that catches my eye. I’m sure my husband would appreciate it if I took this approach when I see a new pair of shoes. I finally decided to purchase the expo disc and gave it a trial run at a wedding. I LOVED the results!

The Expodisc is a manual white balance filter. It gives pictures a warmer tone & makes the colors pop. It also corrects the coloring of skin tones. When shooting RAW, the color balance of the temperature can be changed. The Expodisc does that for you. It saves me a ton of time in post processing because the changes are minimal. This tool is well worth the time saved.

Pictures on the left are shot on Auto WB. I don’t like reading directions so it took me a bit to figure it out. For all the anti-direction people I will save you the stress

I use the Nikon D700 & I speak from my experience with this camera. Set your camera white balance setting to PRE. Hold down the WB button until the PRE blinks. When it blinks, hold the Expodisc over your lens and shoot. Your camera should say ‘good’ and you are ready to start shooting. When lighting situations change, repeat. Also, if you are looking to buy the Expodisc , be aware there are different sizes. Buy it at your lenses largest filter sizes, that way you can just hold it over the smaller lenses and only purchase one. It is that easy & hassle free.
