Multi-color rotating overhead lighting. Notice the skirt on the right. Made picture taking a PITA!!
Is there any possible way of overcoming those light besides having them shut off?

Have you ever darkened the sun? Same principle here. Set your camera so that the green is too dim to show in the photo. Keep those settings. Then use a strobe. experiment with settings on the strobe until it will illumine the room.

What is a PITA?

See PM

If I overcame the multi color rotating lights, what would happen to the color of the people and the clothing? There were very few "posed" shots.

They would be daylight balanced, same as your strobes (not on
camera type flashes, studio type AC strobes with umbrellas).

If you can take multiple shots from a stabilized location and then blend in Post. Or take burst shot and hope for a miracle.

Overpower the lights with flash.

Funny effect. How about a powerful flash?

a few ways:

1. change rooms

2. already mentioned but turn off light

3. have everyone jump and then shoot when light is only on floor

I am sure others will have suggestions.

With speed lights or studio flashes this is the best answer all around. :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:

The answer to your question would be to put the image in a photo program to remove it.

I hope that is not your answer to all your photographic challenges. It's always best to fix it as much as possible in the camera.
