Newly mod D50 with ELP filter and D40x with Hoya R72 filter

[mousedeers]

I was very happy my new mod D50 with ELP filter produce very good images, very little softness on the extreme left and right.
#1 lens used 18-200mm nikon

#2

#3 lens used Tokina 11-17 fisheye

#4 lens used Tokina 11-17 fisheye

Images # 5,6,7,8 are taken with the Nikon kit lens 18-55mm , it is very sharp and detail and good I am amazed by it.
#5 D40x with Hoya R72 filter

#6 D40x with Hoya R72 filter

#7 This image is taken with D40x ELP filter before change to Hoya R72

#8 This photo to show that with Hoya R72 on the D40x I still can get the golden leaves. I use the WB set by using the ELP filter, I saved all the WB setting in a small card for future use.

mousedeers, for #8, is there any compromise in using WB used for ELP on R72 ? If shot in RAW, is it very important to set the WB at the point of shoot ? Can adjust the WB to the WB you saved for ELP during PP right ? Tks.

There is no compromise in using WB used for ELP on R72.

Not important to set the WB on the point of shoot, set and save the WB on a good sunny day on a card and this card is only use for the Setting of WB do not use it to take photo and do not plug in the card reader. I only shoot in JPEG but in shoot RAW too.

I have try to get the WB for ELP during PP but very unsuccessful.

Thanks mousedeers, you have been very helpful. Just to clarify some points here...I think I am lost

1. How is the WB saved on a good sunny day used for the Setting of WB when it is not important to set the WB on the point of shoot ? That means to say it is not necessary to set WB everytime but can always use a generic one taken on a good sunny day previously ?

2. You tried to get the WB for ELP during PP but not very successful. Meaning although you managed to set WB for ELP during the shoot using the R72 modded-cam, but still unable to get close to the result of a ELP modded-cam ?

One more question. When you set the WB for the modded-cam, do you also point the cam at a patch of grass under the sun to get it ?

Tks for your time. Really appreciate it.

q1. Yes you are right. for example I have card_A and card_B, I use the card_A to store the only the WB set by the cam and this card never plug in the card reader or plug in your computer. Card_A once you join to any device then it can not recall the WB setting. Keep it as virgin card for WB setting. Card_B is use to take photos only.

q2. Yes still can not get close to the result of the ELP modded-cam.

I set the WB by pointing to the leaves, sky and wall, so far I never point to the grass. Set as many WB as possible and saved it. Choice the WB the one you like most. cheers.
