Always learning

After a recent shoot for RBS' Burns night BDD I have learnt another hard lesson with my camera. It takes no prisoners in low light. I forgot to black balance, and I under exposed resulting in a muddy looking picture after colour correction. So written a list of steps I need to follow in order to not fall into that trap again:

1. Choose lens
2. Choose composition
3. Black balance
4. White balance
5. Check exposure; screen, waveform - minimal blacks, mid tones halfway, whites topping out - increase light not gain
6. Check focus; use focus card
7. Film grey card
8. Shoot!

Simple steps that will make for much better footage - going to type this up and stick to camera.
