Is it impossible to get perfect white balance sometimes (in post)? I'm noticing for some indoor lowish light (incandescent yellow light) it is extremely difficult to find a good white balance. I play around with orange levels and that sometimes helps. Any suggestions?

I should have tried gelling a flash, but a lot of times I didn't need a flash. I figured I could just set it on auto WB and just correct the raw file later, but it's taking long long time. If anyone would care to take a stab at correcting my raw file I'll post it.

​Thanks

I wish I could help you, but for the most part I always just shoot auto on WB and adjust slightly if necessary in LR4.

I bought a d600 Friday off Nikon's refurb site during the Memorial Day sale! It's on its way here now and I'll hopefully have it Friday! I went ahead and bought the 85mm 1.8g lens and I've got the 50mm 1.8d lens. I think those two will hold me over for a while.

I'll show off some pictures this weekend hopefully!

congrats and looking forward to the pics! I had the 85 1.8 af and the 50 1.8g for a few months before I added the 28. I think I am happier with the 50mm 1.8G lens if only for the circular bokeh balls. I don't remember the D version being AS sharp but I could be wrong. The 50 1.8G is such a bargain (it's also weather resistant). Anyway, I might recommend you skipping the 50g for a 28 1.8G. I couldn't be happier with the 28mm 1.8--I have no desire for the $900 Sigma 35 1.4 anymore.

Shot prom pictures and only had about 15 minutes before the kids left.. It was way crazier than shooting a wedding....there were like 15 parents there all with cameras (some with p+s and dslrs). It was super hectic, but I didn't mind it too much. I did miss some shots as a result of everyone trying to take their own pics though.

Just finished an engagement shoot this past Saturday. First time shooting an engagement with my new (to me) 70-200mm 2.8 VR1 and I was quite pleased with the turn out of the photos.

Did you resize the vertical pictures and forgot to constrain the proportions? They looked stretched on the wide side. Was that intentional?
