In Reply to: Green night photos - why? posted by James on April 03, 2001 at 19:54:46:
: Hello,
: I have a Nikon N70. The other night we were out trying to take pictures of the bridge near where we live. Some of the pictures turned out very clear - the lights reflected in the water, the bridge crisp and the sky very black behind it all. The others all came out with a green tint to them. What we don't understand is we simply set the camera for night shots, put it on the tripod and pushed the button letting the camera control the shutter speed and aperature. Why did some turn out and others didn't when we used the same method for every picture? If anyone has anything to other I would greatly appreciate it.
: Thank you in advance.

Hi everyone this is my first time , so here I go. The reason the lights came out green is because of their colour ( that is they way we spell color!!) balance. They were flourescent lights so they come out green with daylight balanced film. If they were tungestun they would come out yellow/orange. if they were mercury vapour they would come out orange. Hope this clears up they problem!
