Question: Studio Lighting Options: Non-professional, for one weekend only....?
I am not a professional photographer, and ordinarily I have no need for studio lighting. I have a fairly decent camera (Nikon D50) and do enjoy taking photographs of my children (what mother doesnt?!)
I'll be exhibiting at a show in a few weeks where we offer photography for use on announcements/invitations. We are not selling our photos as prints, just for use with our work.
Last year we bought some continuous lighting, with what was, supposedly "daylight" bulbs? The photographs were either too yellow, or too blue. Our white backdrop was far from white.
Is there anything I can do with the continuous lighting, or should I spent the next few weeks learning about the art of flash photography? This is not an ideal senario for me, as the lighting will probably be never used again, but if it's gotta be done, I'll do it.
I have just a few days to make a decision and purchase the equipment, so all help, ideas and opinions greatly appreciated.
Answer: I agree with EEdude. You should have the proper lighting you need you just need to set your white balance (WB). This can be easily accomplished by manually seting your WB. To do this set up your studio equipment and turn your lights on. Take a picture in program mode to get your camera settings. Once you have these settings (ISO, Shutter speed and Aperture) go to M mode and dial them in. leave your camera in M mode. You now need to choose a WB setting by pressing and holding the WB button back of the camera and turn the rear knob. Look at the top LCD and you'll see the little sun and cloud etc. icons cycle as you turn the knob. Cycle until see PRE. Release the button the press and hold the WB button until you see PRE blinking on the top LCD panel. Take a picture of your white backround and your camera should flash GD on the LCD panel and you have set your WB. If it flashes nG you need to try again. Once you see GD flash you are all set and you can snap away and you should have the proper white balance. I would also shoot in raw that way you can refine it if need be with Photoshop. Don't forget to change back your white balance once you have finished your shoot or your next pictures will turn out all funny.

Question: Use of flash blue flashing lights on your car on private property?Can someone put a blue flashing light on the car roof and drive around with it switched on private property, posted without directions? I would say yes, because it is not a public place, but what is the right answer? I know someone who does this, but it is legal?
Answer: UK --- - The Road Vehicles Lighting Regulations 1989 (November 1, 1989) Restrictions on fitting blue warning lights, special warning lamps and similar computers 16 No vehicle, other than an emergency vehicle must be fitted with closures (a) a blue warning sign, or special warning lamp, or (b) a device that resembles a blue warning beacon or special warning lamp, whether the same is in order, or not. Of course, the focus is on Road Traffic Act ... examined but, as in the vicinity of public roads (including private property) will be "on the road "
