Hi Brian, Steve, Paul, Brendan, Jostein, & William: Thanks for the look-see. I think all of you have some good explanations: It was a street fair, so I bet tons of folks had suntan lotion on, which might influenced skintone. ;-) Shooting folks in vendor tents I find kind of hard--haven't done much of it, though I'm keen to do more of it. I'd love to do a study of streetfair vendor portraits, but Paul's probably right about light being filtered by the tent. I also looked at the settings & as shot, my white balance was way up--& I don't know why; setting was 8400--is that a shade Kelvin Temp? Maybe I decided to shoot Shade because the folks were inside tents & on stages with tents. Or if I was shooting AWB maybe it just went nutty on me--or maybe I went nutty & nuttered a button wrongly. Oh, well, big thanks for the look-see at my adjustments.
Cheers, Christine P.S.
