I'm going to go take pictures outside and see if that makes a difference, and if that doesn't produce more realistic colors, I'll pick up a flourescent light this weekend!Pennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09590790502188186598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27827845.post-1156579222224126402006-08-26T03:00:00.000-05:002006-08-26T03:00:00.000-05:00Indoor lighting can really influence the camera's ...Indoor lighting can really influence the camera's view of color. Incandescent lights add an orange hue, flourescent lights add a blue hue.<BR/><BR/>Fortunately this works to our benefit! You can help color-balance your studio by using a balanced lighting system with both incandescent and flourescent and get a quite nearly "natural" "full-spectrum" lighting effect.<BR/><BR/>For your kitchen, try getting a small plug-in flourescent light from the hardware store and see if it helps color-balance your images. You might have to play around with spacing and angle a bit before you get a feel for the -right- effect.<BR/><BR/>Natural light (outdoors) can also help get the colors to turn out truer, but it often ends up washing things out (sunlight too bright), causing glare, etc. --try putting up a white sheet as a lean-to/diffuser to help soften the light and cut the glare.<BR/><BR/>It can also be helpful to find a couple of neutral grey backdrops to give your camera something to inform it's sense of what it's being asked to "see".<BR/><BR/>Hope these tips help!Peacockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16567049263142856395noreply@blogger.com
