I have the ExpoDisk and was instructed to stand where the subject is located, then point the camera/ExpoDisk back towards the camera shot taking position since you will be photographing with the light falling on it from that direction, to get preset white balance. It works very well for me that way. In your videos case, it would be upwards and slightly forward towards the light source(s). I do honestly think that would have helped with the slight yellow tint from the overpowering incandescent lighting. Anyway, thanks for a great video!

Only a word in order to congratulate you!, the way you explain, the tone, the calm, the knowledge that you share with all of us makes it all so simple to understand, that I cannot thank you enough for such a quality master class, one after the other. A big thankyou, from Barcelona.

[03/02, 6:39 pm] Gaurav Prakash: Sir - Your Effort in this direction is genuinely commendable. I thank you for simplifying so many complex or misunderstood photographic concepts. Wishing that you soon are followed by a million enthusiasts. 😊👌👌👍👍👏👏🍸🍾 [03/02, 6:49 pm] Gaurav Prakash: Sir if possible please give us a convincing piece of your mind whether great photos are "taken" or "made". Is it absolutely okay to use post processing to make simple photographs to amazing pieces of photographic art?? This confusion is still a dilemma with a lot of photographers. Regards🙏

I think the expodisc is supposed to be aimed at the incoming light at the place of your subject, not aimed at the light reflected from the scene at the position of the photographer.

Excellent video, very helpful. However, Nikon cameras need not be put into manual focus mode with the ExpoDisc 2.0. They work with the ExpoDisc just fine in auto focus mode in P, A, and S modes. Just checked the ExpoDisc manual and verified this. Also tested it on my D850 and D810 and they all took the exposure perfectly in auto focus mode with no hunting at all. Hope this is helpful.

This is too good. I did not know how to use preset WB in camera... have always heard about the grey card, but that has been difficult for non pro photo enthusiasts as we shoot more for hobby than profession - hence do not wish to carry the 10% grey cards or similar things. But this preset manual was the best solution to people like us
