Thanks Jamie. Hi Bill.  Honestly, my WB settings are usually set to Auto, and then I just end up adjusting it when I do the processing.  It may not be the best, but often times it seems as though I am dealing with several different. sources of light, so the easiest is just to adjust it in processing.  One other thing that I have done in the past, but not done much lately, is to take a photo of a white BG with the 'custom' WB setting that my Nikon has.  As I say, I do not use that as often either.   Thanks for the kind

Thanks very much everyone.  I got Michael Brown's OK before writing this, and then sent it to him when I finished.  He mentioned how valuable he sees the teaching of these techniques being.  I completely agree with him, and I am glad that I can pass them along. Nathan
Couldn't you have just said 'Any photo not of dunes...'?  ;)  Funny stuff Stan. Nathan
