Is the whole frame wacked out, or just a blue band? (Having a hard time visualizing this.)

When I was shooting swim meet photos, from time to time I'd get a shot where the white balance was totally wonked - like everything was ember red or mono chrome lavender. Maybe one or two shots out of a thousand - I figured it was the white balance routines flipping out due to the very mixed light sources I was shooting under. But never had the problem in daylight.

Hi gang.

Just thought i would run this through the collective to see if any one might have a
suggestion to this
non Pentax problem.

Lately i have been shooting some nice horse show pics. Sunny day and the picture looks
like  it
should,a bright picture with lots of detail bright colours and shadows etc. A normal
bright day shot.

Then..... on the same jump in non changing light conditions,i get one that you can tell is
shot in sunny
conditions but it looks like looking out of a car window that has that tint film on it to
keep the glare out.
You can tell its sunny out, good strong shadows give that away.
Sometimes the aperature is 2-3 stops different than it should be, but alot of times its
only a few tenths
offIE: 1000 at f4.5 then 1000 at f 4.8, but it looks way under exposed. I know that little
diference will
not make that much in the shot.

Nikon does not think this is a metering problem(i have sent the D2H back) but something
related to it,
maybe.

Any ideas from those that understand the proccessing better than i do.

Sorry for the non pentax content, but this is driving me absolutly around the bend. I
have a fair amount
invested in this venture and its driving me crazy.My istD id a great camera for sheer
keeper numbers,at
least 99.5 %.
