Been a long time since I posted over here. Anyway I was fun'n Rik about a Crab Spider image over in macro. Seems he had forgotten to reset his color balance on his camera prior to shooting some insects and stuff while on a hike. Well, low and behold I did the same thing on my camera that is mounted to the Meiji stereo.
I use two different types of light, halogen and fluorescent for illumination, depending on the subject being observed and photographed and so I always have to and did not this time, check the color balance or white balance setting. So these images were blue...very blue, to begin with. However, like Rik, I took them into the software and made the color corrections there. They turned out fairly good, if you ask me... Oh by the way, for those of you who photograph metals and minerals and such, I find the fluourescent light to be much better than halogen, halogen has a lot of red in it and fluorescent seems to have more blue and therefore softer and it has a lot of blue in it if you do not set your white balance accordingly.
These images are of some gold trinkets that I had stored away. I used to wear stuff like this at one time but now I am beyond trying to be cool and in fashion these days. In other words, an old fossil. At least that is what they say.

Rik Can Relate to This...
