I'm looking and researching for a ColorChecker system Colorchecker Classic - Camera & Image Calibration: X-Rite Photo & Video able to withstand rain, sun, wind, etc for long periods of time but still able to give reliable color balance characteristics in an outdoor setting for up to two months.
I plan on doing time-lapse imaging of plants with several different Nikon Coolpix 3700s cameras and was hoping to calibrate the white balance from camera to camera for different shading/lighting effects if possible.
I understand that the integrity of the color standards fades with UV light, moisture, etc but was hoping to have a system able to withstand these types of elements. I am willing to sacrifice a little on the exactness of the color standards if we can have lots of durability.
Current thoughts are:
laminating color checkers (but run the risk of glare issues from reflectance)
using underwater Colorcheckers, I guess amphibico may have one according to this forum thread, Underwater ColorChecker/Macbeth Chart? - Techniques and Tips but the link to their site isn't working
or only taking a few ColorChecker photos.
Thanks for your help!
