That's a shame, maybe you could go take some shots in your local grave yard, no one would ever know.

Maybe I should be clearer, I have just purchased a flash for my first steps in understanding artificial lighting and intend to couple that with portrait shots (Not a subject I am comfortable with at all). I have seen several examples of white balance cards, the Wibal for example, that provide an initial white balance reading giving consistency to to all your images in a shoot. I always use the RAW setting and have Photoshop CS5.

I hope this is a bit clearer for everyone
