Natural light should be fine, though it will vary a bit with cloud cover and time of day as you mentioned.<br /><br />As far as camera settings, I'm not sure I can add a lot since you've done such exhaustive testing. One last thing to try, if you haven't already, is using the "this is white" setting with a <a href="http://a.co/7dZ5MLU" rel="Trevor Walkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07918688103497420077noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2481706068105246695.post-76139638116987225092017-11-20T15:12:05.128-08:002017-11-20T15:12:05.128-08:00Trevor Walker:

So it's consistently natural light, though of inconsistent intensity and color temperature, depending on how thick the clouds happen to be that day.

I've used a few in the past, so maybe it's possible to figure out color settings that will work for you.<br /><br />Also, possibly more importantly: what's your lighting situation? It turns out the human eye is a whole lot better at adjusting colors to what they "should" be than a camera, so it's possible a lot of your color woes come Trevor Walkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07918688103497420077noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2481706068105246695.post-24333296648302778272017-11-14T10:15:39.737-08:002017-11-14T10:15:39.737-08:00Personally, nobody has donated even a penny to my ...Personally, nobody has donated even a penny to my plant blog... but I post entries anyways... albeit fairly infrequently. I take the time and make the effort to blog about plants because I derive a certain amount of benefit from doing so. But would I continue to blog if I knew for a fact that nobody else derives any benefit from my blog?

The issue is that the amount of money that people voluntarily spend on conservation will be less than their perception of its importance. As a result, there will be less conservation than people truly want. <br /><br />So I especially appreciated your detailed explanation/justification for yourXerographicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14978832439622230018noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2481706068105246695.post-38087130049947608102017-11-06T05:57:20.258-08:002017-11-06T05:57:20.258-08:00Btw, when you do get time (and assuming you haven&...Btw, when you do get time (and assuming you haven't already done so), you might track down a Canon forum.
