I'm hoping someone could advise on white balance in the field. I want to photograph an old barn that sits a distance back from the road. I will be using an 18mm-200mm Nikon lens. I'd like to capture this barn correctly and was wondering about the white balance settings. Am I better off using one of the preset white balance settings on the Nikon D300s or would I do better using a grey white balance card held in front of me to create a custom white balance even though the card is where I stand and not where the subject is?
I'll basically be in the same light the barn will be in .It does not have any shelter around it and I would be standing in lighting very close to the lighting the subject will be in.
Do you guys think i'm better off with the custom white balance or the presets in this situation. Or should I take the extra time and try presets and custom to play it safe? Any advice or thoughts greatly appreciated. I think for exposure I will be using exposure compensation but the white balance is what I'd really like to hear your thoughts on. What would you guys do?
