Today I am learning about white balance and color temperatures and just ordered my first 18% gray card which is supposed to help set accurate white balances.
I have much to learn on the subject but was driven to it by the fact that when I shoot indoors with AWB (auto white balance) the shots are consistently too warm and not very faithful to what my eye is actually seeing.
Yesterday I also learned the with the Canon 30D in particular you can't exactly trust the LCD review, it has too much green in it. In reality it's a bit small to do much review of anything more than basic exposure and sharpness but it's good to know nonetheless.
