Blue Cast

Postby petermmc on Mon Jul 04, 2005 4:52 pm

I took about 120 photos on Saturday of family and cousins around Newcastle area. A number, maybe 10 of the photos, has a noticeable blue cast as if I used a blue filter. I noticed I had the white balance on incandescent for some of the photos.

Any ideas what could have caused this? I did use flash with many of the photos but I'm not sure which ones. I would submit photos but they are all of family and I would prefer to keep them anonymous.

Incandescent WB would do that remarkably well if you were taking photos in a light source that wasn't incandescent...

If you shot them in RAW, then you can correct the WB setting. If you shot in JPG, you'll probably have to play around with the colour levels to achieve the same effect...

You should be able to see which photos used flash from the EXIF information...

Let me know if any of the above is not clear and I'll go into more detail...
Cheers, John
