I remember a few months back there is a CSer advise to look into photography books. Some of the books have printed gray card (that you can cut it and use it) at the back.photobum said:You can buy a Kodak 18% Gray Card at Cathay Photo. I believe they are still selling it for $22.
If you buy the Kodak Gray Card, it comes with instructions on how to use it.
I don't use the gray card much these day ever since I bought an ExpoDisc. :thumbsup: It replaces the gray card.

can lah, but that's for white balance... grey card is for metering/exposurelongkangman said:Can always DIY the expodisc using some filter.
diggitydang said:thanks guys..
hmm so the grey card is used for white balance and metering/exposure?
white balance is used to get the proper use of whites so that it can suit the mood the photographer wish to compose the photo right?
ExplorerZ said:not really mood, if you wan to capture the mood, using ambient or surrounding light will be better. grey card mainly helps you to achieve correct color in weird color lighting.

The National Geographic book has a 'grey card' on the inside front cover.
I plan to buy some materials in the same shade, this way it can be left crumpled in the bottom of my bag and pulled out when I need help with tricky exposures.
The plastic top of a pringles tube makes a cheap 'expodisc' which is used to set the perfect white balance
