[QUOTE="Felisek, post: 469058, member: 23887"] Here is an example of what would happen if you used colour checker at sunset. First, the picture the way I want it: [ATTACH type="full" width="30%"]166595._xfImport[/ATTACH] Nice sunset, isn't it? Now, clouds are more-or-less grey, so you can sometimes use them to set the white balance. This is what I did in the picture below. I picked the white balance from the clouds. If you used your colour checker (or just a grey card), you would get a similar effect (not identical, but similar). This is because the grey card would be illuminated by the orange light of the setting sun, and the colour profile would compensate for it. [ATTACH type="full" width="30%"]166596._xfImport[/ATTACH] This is not what you want. To conclude, don't use colour checker or grey card during golden hour. [/QUOTE]
