Fred and Jim have received several Rogue Lighting products which we will be using and reporting on for the next few weeks. The first item we will be testing is the ExpoDisc 2.0. Jim has used the ExpoDisc in the past and it a recommended filter to quickly set up a correct white balance for most any lighting situation. Simply point the camera at the primary light source with the ExpoDisc, take an image and then use that images to set a custom white balance. Jim wondered if the ExpoDisc could possibly be used to eliminate or reduce the color shift that sometimes occurs with variable ND filters and perform a test during the current podcast.
