History of the ExpoDisc: The inventor of the ExpoDisc was George Wallace who originally designed the filter for slide film. The idea was to turn the meter inside a 35mm camera into an incident light-meter by putting a prismatic diffusion filter in front of the lens and engineering it to pass exactly 18% of available light to arrive at the film plane, thus admitting the same amount of light which the average subject is assumed to reflect). Besides metering perfect TTL exposures for film cameras, the ExpoDisc also generates a superb neutral reference for colour capture. That’s because it passes the light it receives without adding any significant colour cast of it’s own and thereby identifying the unique colour cast that exists in every light condition!
Each unit is individually calibrated and colour corrected for neutrality, making digital white balance fast and easy. This easy to use tool allows every digital SLR camera to generate an impressive white balance, at capture, in almost all lighting conditions.

Photo Quote: What I feel is that the picture-taking process, anyway a greater part of it, is an intuitive thing. You can't go out and logically plan a picture, but when you come back, reason then takes over and verifies or rejects whatever you've done. So that's why I say that reason and intuition are not in conflict--they strengthen each other. - Wynn Bullock
