VRE01/VT1200 pictures

Does your camera have automatic white balance? If so, that would make the difference - the camera is automatically adjusting colors based on the total picture, so when you use different light sources, it adjusts differently. If you have a MANUAL white balance, put up a piece of white paper, zoom to it, and balance whites on that. Then take the white paper away and take your pictures. One thing you learn in photography is that what we "see" as white can vary quite a bit. Our brain automatically adjusts based on the setting, but there are really a wide range of whites, and a camera sees them all differently. - Bob -----Original Message----- From: cctalk-admin(a)classiccmp.org [mailto:cctalk-admin@classiccmp.org] On Behalf Of Bill Bradford Sent: Tuesday, July 09, 2002 11:01 AM To: geeks(a)sunhelp.org; rescue(a)sunhelp.org; cctalk(a)classiccmp.org Subject: VRE01/VT1200 pictures For those of you who've never seen a VT1200 with a VRE01 plasma display: http://gallery.mrbill.net/view_album.php?set_albumName=vre01 The "darker orange" colors are closer to what it actually looks like. I was able to get these pictures after switching to "full spectrum" compact flourescent bulbs in the computer room. The pictures where the display appears "yellow" are from when I had one of the GE Reveal bulbs up overhead. Interesting how it makes a difference. Bill -- Bill Bradford mrbill(a)mrbill.net Austin, TX
