WorldStart Message Boards - Digital Pictures overall dark Blue overcast?

Recient Photographs taken at an indore reception all contained an entire dark blue overcast over the complete shoot.

Can anyone explain why this should have hapend?

And how may it be corrected?

What did I do wrong?

Camera to the best of my knowledge was set to Auto with full flash Outdoor pictures on same SD 15GB card were perfectly exposed, was shooting outdoor settings indoors a factor, and shouldn't the Auto setting have compensated for that not happening?

I have no idear what ISO setting was being used, so I can't provide further information at this time. Camera: Kodak V1003

If you could post one of your original photos (un-edited) then we might be able to get the EXIF info from it so we can see just what your settings were. Outdoor photos generally come out better than indoor pics.

I would guess that your photos were under exposed and/or the white balance was off.

I am not a fan of Auto modes as they will not do your pictures justice.

I recently made the same mistake with indoor shots I took at my Grandmother's 100th birthday party....

Set my camera to Auto mode thinking I would be able to get in lots of quick shots that way as the afternoon's events unfolded.

Problem is most of the shots did not turn out well and I'm still working on editing and trying to rescue what I can.

If you do as mom25kids suggested and post at least 1 unedited picture we may be able to get the EXIF info from it.... Also we may be able to see if we can fix that picture up for you and repost it with the info as to what was done with what photo editing program to get the edited results The 1 really nice feature of using a digital camera is the ability to preview/look at the picture you just took and if the quality etc is not what you expected you can change the settings and retake the picture & then delete the pictures you don't want.... That was my main reason for buying a digital camera in the 1st place and if I happen be in a store that sells digital cameras & I happen to see someone looking at a digital camera for the 1st time and asking questions I tend to point that out to them.... Granted some pictures are spur of the moment & you only have that 1 chance to get that picture.... It used to be very annoying using the older cameras and having to get the pictures developed and then finding out half the pictures didn't turn out.... Yes we all know hind sight is 20 x 20 and if we new yesterday what we know today then we would have done things differently yesterday

Sometimes fluorescent lighting will give a blue hue to digital pictures.

Since you can not go back and retake the reception pictures you may be able to remove the color cast with a photo editing program.

Photoshop Elements 4 has a fairly adequate tool for removing the blue tint.

Picassa (which is free) boast having a color cast removal tool.

There are several other free photo editing programs which offer options for adjusting color. Before you edit your photos, please post one here so we can view the Exif settings and may be able to offer suggestions.

Thank you all for your very welcome coments I tried to attach the photo you requested but it would not accept it ...stating it is too large to be accepted.

I don't know how else to get it to you other than email ...

But where do I send it then ..

I'm lost unless I have an email address to send it to?

I know that is not a good idea to post your email address in an open forum like this and I wouldn't expect you to either.

So any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you Al the boss

Host the Picture at a Site like Photobucket, then copy the IMG code here.

You could sign up for a free acct.

To photobucket.com here... http://photobucket.com/ Then upload the picture to that site and then post either the direct link code or the [IMG] If you use the [IMG] code the picture will be viewable in your post.... If you use the direct link code it will give us a clickable link

Here is my reply #6 in a thread about posting a picture/screen shot using Photobucket or similar host site or the manage attachment function here.... In this thread here... http://forum.worldstart.com/showthread.php?t=123898 Posting a screen shot/picture using Photobucket or similar online host site After you upload a screen shot/picture click on Direct Link and it will copy the link automatically to your clipboard.... Then return to the reply window that you wish to add the screen shot to and right click and choose paste and a clickable link will be added to your reply... If you wish to share a picture/screen shot in Digital Imaging or OT and have the picture/screen shot viewable without having to click a link then you can use the [IMG] code rather than direct link code Posting a screen shot/picture using the "Manage attachment" feature If you want to add it as an attachment you have to resize it like Bruce said which depending on the screen shot it may make it almost impossible to read as it will be to small.... But if that is what you intend to do then after resizing it to 100k or smaller and you have put your reply in the reply box Scroll down further until you see "Manage attachments" Click on Manage attachments Then click browse Locate your resized screen shot/picture Double click on it Then click upload When upload is complete click on the submit reply below manage attachments... I hope this info helps.... My personal preference is to use photobuckets as the screen shot/picture can be left the size that you capture it and if you can read it easily then others should be able to also....
