Really great vid and RT just rocks. Concerning the white balance, I once bought a cheap 3 part set of black, white and grey cards in credit card size, starting at $6 the set. They are made of rugged plain weatherproof matte plastic and they are attached to a wrist strap. The set is always in my camera bag where ever I go, quite uncumbersome. My models can hold it up for a reference shot and then easily hide it from the lens somewhere on their person so they can take it out again later, should I need another reference shot. I just don't believe in guessing on potential neutral grey sources in the picture unless there happens to be something objectively neutral white and I don't have a grey card reference shot at hand.

Thanks! Yeah, I picked up a gray card shortly after this session, and it's made all the difference in the world. Thanks so much for following along.
