Indoor garden lighting.....?

[charlie76]

So...I want to take pictures of my friends indoor tomato garden before I leave town.

Does anyone have tips or advice about how to shoot under HPS (high pressure sodium) bulbs and other indoor growing lights.

I have a Nikon D7000 (with on-camera flash only).

I have never played with my WB...but I suspect there may be a way to shoot this type of light by adjusting??

thanks folks

Set a custom white balance.

Print a piece of paper that is neutral gray. Very simple to do if you just make sure your document prints in black and white only. Then take a photo in the garden of the sheet of paper. Make sure it's not getting color thru the paper. make sure the paper fills the frame. Use that image to set a custom white balance in your camera.
Shoot in RAW and post process for cycling of the lights.
