Lighting dilemma
Nov 23, 2013 10:05:55 #
This is a shot from a bathroom suite I recently completed. In this shot you can see into the walk in closet on the right...and the water closet on the left. The walk in closet has a 4 foot by 18 inch florescent light attached to the ceiling...a shop light I call it...and the water closet has a single can light in the ceiling...I believe with a incandescent flood bulb in it. Maybe change the can light bulb to get these to match?

That should work. the new lights come in severel color tempetures. the daylight should work. I would close the tolet seat for the picture. - Dave

If you are handy in PS a tone adjustment on one side might be easier.
Wrong post. I meant the OP.

Good job on the construction...lots of closet storage. Was this in your home or for hire? ;-)

This is a fairly easy fix in post process. Use layers and correct the white balance of the bath and walk-in closet separately.

Your right Dave...I can almost hear my Mom yelling at me...."close the dayun lid"...LOL....and this lid has the anti-slam on it.
During the day I'm a Lead Carpenter/Project Manager for remodeling company here in Dayton. Its a very nice home on a golf course...Country Club kinda place.
Post Processing for me is ViewNX2 and a little with CaptureNX2...which I just got recently. Have at it if you like...but for me...I'd rather climb up on the toilet and swap bulbs...lol

So what do you think of capture nx2? My biggest complaint is that seldom is it mentioned or used for tutorials in photography magazines. By the way we users hold our annual national convention at a local Burger King, third booth on the left. :lol: We call ourselves "voices in the wilderness"

8-) 8-) 8-) Nice work, both carpentry and photography. White Balance adjustment should help you in PP. If you re-shoot the scene, in addition to the bulb and seat lid modifications, you might want to re-position the W/C door so that it reveals less of the W/C color and lighting. With the W/B adjustment the lighting differences should be lessened. B/T/B on which golf course is this house? The W/C looks like one I hooked into one day last August. I will tell you that if the lid had been down that day my lie would have been unplayable. :lol: :lol: :lol:

I apologize for misreading this as a photography exercise.
To get the white balance to match the incandescent bathroom light change the fluorescent lamp(s) in the walk-in closet to warm white (2700 - 2800 deg K).

Or...use a speedlight mounted in the bathroom (just sitting on something like a high shelf) with a green gel to match the fluorescent light...viola! matched light temp.
You can do the same with a speedlight in each room. It's an old trick.

The incandescent light in the bath is likely around 2800 Kelvin, while the closet light is 5600 Kelvin PLUS a lot of green spike.
Tough minus green gel coupled with No. 85 gel would bring the closet much closer to the bath while ALSO evening out the difference in brightness between the two.
You could also buy a few daylight balanced high brightness LED lamps to temporarily replace the bulbs in the bath, THEN you would only have the extra green in the closet (tough minus green filter) to correct.
Or just fix it in Photoshop like others have noted. No filters to buy.

I don't have a speed light yet....although a pair of SB910's are on top of my GAS shopping list. I do have a LED flood rated at 56k and I'm looking at a florescent lamp rated at 55k I got at a garage sale a year ago...has cowboy studio printed on the side of it. Re-shoot time I'll take the both of them and see what I can come up with.

Because of the straight lines, an easy selection allows you to adjust the white balance of several sections. Like this . . .

That's not bad but looks like a lot of pink.
You're right . . is this better?
