  1. I was wondering if you could explain using kelvin to adjust your white balance, the advantages and how you go about deciding what value to use? Thanks, I really enjoy the podcast.

  2. @ Anthony… I would say the biggest advantage to using Kelvin.. is for one.. it will be more consistent from shot to shot than AWB. and there are a lot of times that the presets like cloudy, shade, sunlight.. just dont really get it perfect. Especially when your inside tungsten can be just too cool for my taste.. so I like to dial in my own and just run with it.. if I get it right when take the photos.. its one less thing I have to change later on (in a perfect world)
    Thank you for the kind words!

  3. You mentioned the charger for the Amazon rechargeable batteries – which charger do you use?
