My son and I have had the privilege of photographing several National Parks. Our photographs were possible because others were willing to share their knowledge with us through books, magazines, and podcasts. It is now time for us to return the favor. We hope the information we provide about our equipment and techniques will help improve your photographic skills. If this is your first visit, please start reading from the bottom of the page. Happy shooting!

Color Correction the Easy Way

The Canon digital SLR cameras do a fine job getting the white balance correct except for artificial lighting situations. This can be easily corrected in Photoshop if a neutral gray surface is shot in the same lighting conditions. Eric and I use a product called a WhiBal card. It is very portable and only has to be photographed once in any given situation. Since we shoot in RAW, the color balance can easily be corrected using the shot of the WhiBal card and then copied to all of the other images. We find this technique has been very helpful when shooting indoor basketball games and wrestling matches. It is a beautiful thing!
