counteract the more red in daylight photo's

[Roadrunr]

Hi all, ready for a newbi question?

Has there ever been someone that counteracted the  "more red" in daylight photo's from a modded Canon 100D done with putting a filter on the "daylight" lens and not by using software? and if so, what did you use? (type, name, brand, price)

Why do I ask: I have a good unmodded camera but I just wont to know if it can be done

Easiest way (and free!) is to set a custom white balance with a sheet of white paper under whatever illumination source you intend to use. Usually you find custom white balance under the white balance settings within the camera menu's - check your manual to set how your particular camera needs to be set-up for custom balances.

As Francis says, I did this with my modded 60D.  Set up a custom white balance and use it all the time.  I actually used a photographers grey card rather than white.  It worked very well.

as soon as the Canon is here (now on  it's way from England) I willl look in to that, Thank you, but was just wondering if it can be done with a filter on your lens.

Astronomic make a filter that counteracts that red shift, I think it’s called an OWB (origonal white balance) filter and clips inside..HTH

Here you go

it basically puts back the filter that was removed, but you can take in and out as required...

By rights you should use a neutral grey card to create a custom white balance, you can actually buy the card from a camera shop, then at midday with the sun behind take an image of the grey card outside, and set that as the white balance, it should be almost perfect then...
