[QUOTE="Moab Man, post: 520279, member: 11881"] I'm in for this year. My objective is to refine some of my techniques and be a little more disciplined with some of my techniques. First up, almost like a new years resolution, is to be very regimented about using my Expodisc. I have had Expodiscs for years, but have not been as regimented in using them as I should. I buckled down as of about a week ago and started using it religiously, I even read the instructions a few times to make sure I was using it absolutely correctly. It's amazing what you learn when you read instructions with a genuine interest to learn. What I have learned is how much time I could have saved myself over the last few years correcting white balances if I had only been using my Expodisc, particularly on tricky lighting situations. Here is my first shot of the year. Reds can be a bear to get correctly and then throwing in off colored lighting and it can be a nightmare. This picture is straight out of the camera jpeg, no color editing, and on my calibrated monitor it is a dead match. The hours I could have saved myself over the last year. As a new years resolution, and for my 366, I will use the freaking Expodisc as much as I can to save myself as much work as I can. One more thing I learned by reading the instructions, you can use the Expodisc as an incident light meter to dial in and nail your exposure right out the gate and it's cheaper than a light incident meter.
