[QUOTE="T-Man, post: 476090, member: 22038"] Yes, as a matter of fact, he DID! His exact words: "the first thing you need to do, before anything else, is thrown the *&$% instructions in the trash, because they're WRONG! I've conveyed this to them and demonstrated it in person to them. The instructions are written by non-photographers." And, you don't "aim it willy-nilly," you aim it in the general direction of the dominant light. However, the point is, you don't want to aim it exclusively at a very dominant light source or get the camera too close to a dominant light source, unless that's the only source of light in the environment, because there may be a combination of multiple types of artificial lighting along with natural light coming through a window, all of which will affect the color cast on your subject. You want to also capture the other sources of light in the environment. It's pretty forgiving by virtue of the prisms on the front of the filter capturing light from multiple angles, and I've found it doesn't make that much difference in the result as long as you're not aiming it into deep shadows. Though, you go on putting words in my mouth, as you're the expert not only on this topic, but in knowing what I "obviously" meant by things I didn't say. But it matters not, because I'm wrong and you're right. Feel better? [/QUOTE]
