 Damn it's hard to get white balance right. I need to make it 2400K, but my 10D only goes down to 2800K. If only I could use RAW.

Also, my camera was giving me f8 and 1/3 sec. I took a bunch of pictures then thought, "I should take a reading with my lightmeter just in case." I thought it was wrong when it gave me f8 at 13seconds. That couldn't be right. Once I tried it, I was amazed at what a difference it was.

Low contrast robs this shot of some drama.

...but the white balance seems off. Try a cutom white balance.
