Maybe this has been asked before, but I couldn't find it:I'm thinking of lighting a scene with mixed
light temperatures, such as 3000k work lights(halogen) and 5500k Flos (color correct with CRI rating
and all that) : So if I set the white balance on my camera(T3i) to 5500k will it interperet the 3000k
lights as daylight? Or would it be better to pass them through a daylight gel?? Also, on the T3i, if I
understand correctly, in order to bypass the default white balance settings I need to take an image of
something white and lit how I plan to shoot. I then use this image to set the white balance to the
temp I want..?? Right?
