That is typical colour for this light type. Some films handle it better than others, but they all (except tungsten balance films) react pretty similar to what you describe. > > Bluish Outside shots- Outside on overcast days with a > layer of snow on the ground. This is UV-O-Rama. Apparently, a UV filter can help a bit with this (buy a good one, not a cheapee one). Also, the scene you describe causes us photo lab guys to have fits. Snow has got to be one of the hardest scene types to print. Add an overcast sky and it is really difficult to get right. They either print really washed out, or just plain dirty looking. And nearly always a bit of a colour cast. William Robb This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List. To unsubscribe, visit www.pdml.net and follow the directions.
