At an second hand/antique retail center recently I had the white balance on PREset manual still set from previous shooting conditions. I came into the main storage area lit by large industrial overhead lamps and when I took a shot the colours were weird to say the least. I couldn't resist the awful temptation so I bumped up some settings (only a little bit) and out popped this!

Hi Winterrose,

I strongly suspect that the overall lighting in the room consisted mainly of Flourescent Lights !, am I correct?.
A greenish tint is almost inevitable where flourescent light is present. A filter is available to correct this, I'm sorry , but for the life of me, I just cannot bring to mind the filter number.
A similar problem occurs when shooting with predominantly tungsten lighting, the difference being that tungsten shows up with an 'orange' cast, again this can be corrected by the use of a filter.
If your camera can shoot RAW files, then problems like these can easily be corrected with the colour temperature slider.
I do hope this helps. Norman.

Thank you very much for that. They were fluoros as you thought. I actually corrected the mad lighting by doing a quick Preset Manual white balance through my trusty Expodisc which worked just fine. Cheers, Rob.

Thanks for showing.

I thought at first glance it was some sort of Art Deco speak easy. I like the way you did the lighting... It gives it an Alice in Wonderland type of appeal.

The result is quite compelling, as others have suggested. Fun getting lucky results sometimes!

Hello to all am a new member, I having been shooting rock bands an the light is always changing but shooting raw and useing lightroom help correct the lighting problems useing the temp and tint slider in the develop mode.

Sometimes it is the "accidental" settings that can give the most amazing results!

GREAT shot and effect!

It works really well with the antiques. Gives them a "patina".
