CMee Posted February 25, 2017 #1 Share Posted February 25, 2017 Can someone help. I noticed when I take pictures inside the ship everything has a yellow look to it, if I turn the flash off then they're not yellow but of course they're dark and don't turn out. anyone have suggestions about why the yellow and what to do about it?

xlxo Posted February 25, 2017 #2 Share Posted February 25, 2017 Your camera "auto white balance" is getting confused by the tungsten/incandescent lighting. http://www.nikonusa.com/en/learn-and-explore/article/fubpbfls/setting-white-balance.html https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Color_balance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tommui987 Posted February 25, 2017 #3 Share Posted February 25, 2017 Probably you have the camera set up for daylight. The light inside the ship might be by lightbulbs, spotlights and would require you set up the camera for incandescent lights. Presetting your camera to white balance can be useful not not as much as setting the camera for the exact light v- sunlight, shade, incandescent etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare bobmacliberty Posted February 26, 2017 #5 Share Posted February 26, 2017 If you plan to switch your camera's auto white balance off, be sure to remember to change it back (or switch to a different setting) before shooting in different lighting like outside during the day. It has taken me a while to get in the habit of double-checking settings before starting a new session and have occasionally had some bad shots from using "leftover" incorrect settings for the situation (e.g. high ISO in daylight).

Dan_K Posted February 26, 2017 #6 Share Posted February 26, 2017 I am not one who advocates always shooting raw. But I do whenever the lighting conditions are challenging. Doing so allows me to select or alter white balance in post processing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xlxo Posted February 26, 2017 #7 Share Posted February 26, 2017 and then there's some of us who are color blind.... white balance post-processing is dangerous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Click Posted February 26, 2017 #8 Share Posted February 26, 2017 +1 for what Bobmcliberty said.. nothing worse than looking at a days take from walking around a port and realizing you never rest from 2800K when you did that family pictures at dinner last night. Been there, done that and yes, you can fix it sort of, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare pierces Posted February 27, 2017 #10 Share Posted February 27, 2017 WICA The magic formula! Before I leave the house (or cabin): White Balance set to auto ISO set to auto Compensation set to +0- A-mode Almost, but not quite foolproof.
