Lights, lemons, burners, pots, and candy?

Hey All,

Most of these shots are from new years eve and today, some are colorful and some are really just abstract. Any critiques or comments are welcome!

i agree with the others, the first shot is by far the best, the rest are ok, your white balance is still way off, notice how the inside peel edges of the lemon are yellowish... they should be white

the 30d's are awesome camera's but like a lot of dslr's they have serious issues using auto white balance under incandescent lighting, make sure you set it to incandescent or do a custom white balance before you shoot under that type of lighting, it will help the colors and the contrast a ton

Skiboarder, i think i shot the lemons with varying different white balance settings and whichever one i selected i thought most closely matched the color. But i agree with you i will have to start messing around with custom white balance inside, most of my shots look yellowish and i can't be having that (reminds me of the Kodak point and shoot days again!)
