Good Morning PDML: A Sweetie & a Question

[Christine Aguila]

Hi Brian, Steve, Paul, Brendan, Jostein, & William:  Thanks for the 
look-see.  I think all of you have some good explanations: It was a street 
fair, so I bet tons of folks had suntan lotion on, which might influenced 
skintone. ;-) Shooting folks in vendor tents I find kind of hard--haven't 
done much of it, though I'm keen to do more of it.  I'd love to do a study 
of streetfair vendor portraits,  but Paul's probably right about light being 
filtered by the tent.  I also looked at the settings & as shot, my white 
balance was way up--& I don't know why; setting was 8400--is that a shade 
Kelvin Temp?  Maybe I decided to shoot Shade because the folks were inside 
tents & on stages with tents. Or if I was shooting AWB maybe it just went 
nutty on me--or maybe I went nutty & nuttered a button wrongly. Oh, well, 
big thanks for the look-see at my adjustments.

Cheers, Christine

P.S.  Brian:  glad you have access to some helpful medication ;-)
