Underwater photographic exposure/color slates

Does anyone know where I can get the photographic exposure/color slates that I have seen used by Stephen Frink and others for their pool testing sessions?

The "Jim and Cathy Church School of Underwater Photography" branding might be a hint?

Sorry guys!

Neither Stephen or the Church's have any slates for sale, nor do they know of any source. Any other ideas?

Thanks for the reply, Nige! I did see this item at reef photo, but wanted to explore other possible options.

has a review of the various color charts ranging from $20 to $400 or so. THese are all calibrated. If you don't need perfect calibration, print some of your own, go to Kinko's and get them laminated. Cheapest way to go and if you have a good printer (like Costco) you can get a bunch made all the same.

Thanks Bill for the reply!

Your suggestion is a good option. I have also looked into using a custom sign shop (local and online) to make an exposure slate for me.

Anyone else have any ideas?

The white balance slate that comes with the PADI Digital Underwater Photography book has colors.

You should easily be able to get this at any PADI Dive Center.
