color seems wrong what did I do?
Nov 30, 2012 09:30:16 #
took this indoor with the lighting coming in on the left shot in manual 1/25 sec, f/5, ISO 3200 around noon.
is the icky color on the right just because of the lighting? Is there a better setting indoor? No extra lightening, just what was coming in the window. face looks fine to me but as you look back it get icky, any suggestions?
Thanks Rene

You may want to upload the full-size shot if you want someone to help.
Are you talking about the reddish part of the fur halfway to the tail?

Doesn't look bad to me but then I've never actually seen your cat in person. During the shoot when you've got this much contrast you can try using a reflector to fill the shadows. A collapsible one is preferable but in a pinch even a white shirt, cardboard or anything without a tint should work.
In post it would be a little more tricky. Could try applying a graduated filter and experiment to get the right color.

the lighting was pretty bad, thought I should. Never shot animals obviously, my sister asked me to so I thought why not just for the practice.

Your settings look ok to me for the lighting situation you had. Iso is rather high as mentioned earlier but you couldn't go any slower with the shutter speed. Obviously more light would have been nice but sometimes you just have to take the shot.
The photo is recoverable with a few tweaks. What software do you use. If you have one with a color slider for different channels (colors) reducing the red might work but there are other more selective ways.
Everything else looks great.

Was there possibly something back there out of frame reflecting some the color cast?
I don't think it's that bad. The face is what draws my attention.

I agree with Goofy. It still looks good even if the color is off.

I don't rememeber anything on that side, just not enough light. Thanks! I was hoping the face is where one would notice not the icky colored hair. :)

Rene, I took the photo into Elements 11 just to see about the adjustments. To me, the white fur seemed a bit pinkish. So I did a white balance correction picking the mid-tone white part of the fur. That corrected much of the problem. So I would have to say that it is mostly a white balance problem.
Not knowing what your cat really looks like I selected just the pinkish orange fur and adjusted the red and yellow color sliders to make it look more like my tabby.
Is this more what you were trying to get.
