Answer
For minimizing color shifting, especially with long exposures and tricky lighting, Scott recommends:
- High‑quality neutral density filters (he warns that cheap ND filters often cause strong color shifts; even good ones can shift, but it should be manageable)
- Shooting in RAW so color and white balance are fully adjustable later
- X‑Rite ColorChecker Passport for:
- Creating a custom white balance before adding the ND filter
- Building a custom color profile and matching colors in Lightroom
- Other trusted white balance tools:
- ExpoDisc (simple, fast custom white balance)
- Lastolite EzBalance (budget-friendly, collapsible target)
