ezybalance%20sml

New from Lastolite Limited is the Ezybalance 18% grey card, which has an innovative gun sight that allows AF cameras to focus correctly for every shot. Photographers using Ezybalance can ignore colour rendition when they shoot if they include a shot of the Ezybalance in each lighting scene. Captured images can then be accurately balanced after the event in Adobe Photoshop. Ezybalance ‘Point and Shoot’ also comes as a set containing one white surface for white balancing and three different grey surfaces – an 18% grey plus a lighter grey to highlight darker subjects and a darker grey to highlight the detail in lighter subjects and give crisp white backgrounds. Photographers can choose the option that gives the best exposure for the shot in question.
