Apologies if this has been covered elsewhere. I searched and searched and didn't find the exact discussion I was looking for.
So, I am on my way to the Masters Golf Tournament early next month. This is kind of a one time thing and I don't want to screw this up.
I have read discussions about setting a custom white balance on the day you are shooting and it's not a complicated procedure (Canon 80D)...
But I also have the X-Rite ColorChecker Passport which I intend to use to get the color right and then created a custom profile in Lightroom CC and then sync the set of the days photos to the new profile (as opposed to using Lightroom's Adobe Standard).
My questions is this: Is it better to actually set a custom white balance using a gray card before shooting OR use the ColorChecker Passport's White Balance "squares" on the second half of the passport (see attached) to adjust the white balance after the fact using the Passport Photo that I will take a the beginning of the day?
I suppose either will get the job done but am wondering if anybody has recommendation on this issue?
