@Misha - Yup. Digital makes it a whole heck of a lot easier, especially with hot lights. With the 10D and other cameras I'm sure, its really easy to set up custom white balances. Set the lights all up, bring out your white card under the lights and take a shot of it. Hit the custom WB function, bring the shot up you took of the white card and you tell it "See here? That's now white." And the 10D compensates automatically. The manual way is to have a color temperature meter. Works something like a flash meter, except gives you color temperature of the light in Kelvin. So, if you were to put it under most Quart lights, you'd get a reading of 3200K. Now set your digital camera to 3200K and you're ready to go. Film isn't that much harder, you know it's 3200K so you slap a 80A filter on your lens (of course, the freaking thing has a filter factor of something like 3 or 4). @Doug - how come you're giving up on the Alien Bees when you get your 10D? -=>Donald
