Yes, I'm "discovering" that the translucent panel that I'm using for my back light, to wash out the background, seems to be about 5300K, I'm not sure what the bottoms of milk bottles are, that I'm using to soften the overhead lights.

I'll have to take shots with just the backlight, then just the overhead and finally just the bare bulbs and see what the camera says they are. I don't know for sure if the 5500K bulbs are what they claim they are.

I also bought some silk fabric at the store and I'll be trying that. I'm more worried about heat with that on the top lights.

But when I open the RAW I can click on Daylight and have the same color balance for every shot, since the light sources don't change. More important is having all the lighting the same color temperature, or it creates impossible situations.

It's all just fine, since I've always enjoyed the experiment side of photography as much as taking or processing images.

Thanks for pointing it out, in case I was neglecting the effects of what might be considered filters, over the lights.
