[QUOTE="BackdoorArts, post: 284905, member: 9240"] That's the proper method. I'm assuming the grass fills the entire viewfinder? If not, try that, and I use Auto exposure mode (the only time I do) just to let the camera do what it wants. Shoot wide open to let as much light in as possible. I've heard stories of some cameras not setting WB correctly post-conversion, particularly Nikons. If you can't, it's not really an issue if you're shooting RAW. You can create a custom WB profile for your camera using the Adobe DNG Profile Editor to get the WB where you want it on a RAW file. Many Nikons won't even get close down at 2000, but with the custom profile you can build a profile for Lightroom or ACR that will get you where you want (or at least close) with the click of a button. Here's a video (a little old) that shows you how to go about doing it. It doesn't tell you specifically where to export the profile to once created, but you should be able to find that online (it's different for a Mac vs. PC). [MEDIA=youtube]7_49pGy1NLQ[/MEDIA] My brother built one for me from a series of IR shots I sent him and I like it a lot. I can't seem to reproduce it exactly - there's definitely some additional tweaking he did with the coloring besides just sliding the WB slider left and I need to get him to show me some of his magic next time we get together (probably Easter). When he does I'll put together a quick video of how to do it. [/QUOTE]
