Out this AM, with hat on, doing some snow shots..Ok over expose and set white balance with the snow, have done this before (lots) with the 717 never with the Reb..Read instructions did the deal, shot,checked histogram, good to go I thought. Happily snapped away.
Time to unload and every, EVERY, shot was GREEN! Obviously I really ho'ed up setting the WB:scratch BUT I was shoting in RAW:clap So even tho many aren't worth saving even if the WB had been ok, the others were saved. What a lesson that was/is.

Now back out to see what I did wrong in the first place:dunno

    Don't overexpose for WB
    Point at the snow with the meter reading 0EV. That way it has something to work with on the + and - side for all the channels.

    Just to be clear, the 0EV setting is just for obtaining the WB. Once that is done, then of course set the exposure to whatever is needed mwink.gif
