I think pringles caps suffer the same problem.. they will slowly turn yellow over time.

What I've been doing was to shoot a white surface... but dead not accurate at all... Giving the Pringle cap a try... Will do more test with it... The best thing is that it can double as a lens cap... Perfect for my 67mm diameter lens... :bsmilie: Anyway, I think plastic wouldn't turn yellow as easily compared to the coffee filter material...

heh no worries lor.. just buy anohter tube of pringles... ;p

Haha... Then can eat and shoot at the same time... :bsmilie: Then can buy anywhere you need it also wor... Cold Storage, NTUC, provision shops, 7 eleven... ;P

Can try those plastic caps from Tong Garden or Camel brand nuts. Definitely wider diameter than Pringles. Disclaimer: I am not responsible if you get fat trying out all the different brands...

You guys will raise up pringles price :cry: .

wow. interesting.

wow. interesting.

It really makes me wonder why people are so obsessed with white balance if they are ok with using off-neutral objects to perform white balance. In that case, I still think Cloudy would have given a more accurate rendition and depict the actual mood and colour of the lighting more accurately.

I also wonder what white balance is used when shooting sunrise/sunset.. :think: :dunno:
