Hi Gang.............

Last night I was taking some Head Shots of some 
theatrical performers on location at their theatre.

I brought in my portable studio.

White back drop with back light.

Main and fill lights are White Lightning 5000's
shot through soft boxes.

Olympus E-10 set on manual

I used a flash meter for setting the exposure.


Even though I didn't change the lighting scheme
or exposures, on many of the shots the flesh tones
shifted from normal to a bit cyan.

Now I can correct this in Photo Shop.,

But I am wondering what happened?


I was using auto White Balance.......................

I was dumping a lot of light on the white back 
drop that was about 3 ft behind the subject.

Could have all that white light bouncing back at me
cause a color shift with the camera set on Auto White  Balance?

Usually I manually set it to 6500 degrees.
This time I forgot.

Thanks
