Im going to photograph a singing group this Sunday evening. Its at a motel in the ball room. Now the problem is the liting. There are over head can lites that put off a yellow/orange cast along with 4" flourescent lites that are of a mix daylite and yellowish.orange color. I did this once beore and it was a disaster, but was able after some work git them back to some kind of reality. Iam using the Canon rebel xt, any advise on settings would be apprecuated, would a strobframe be of any benefit,?
Try your best to white-balance it. Otherwise, fire a flash through an orange gel to approximately match the warm color light in the room, and then correct in post.
Not an advice but a question, too, to those who might know better than I do: after all the possible adjustments to the given light were done in-camera, and assuming rlc would want to work with that ambient light only (or can only work with the ambient light) - how many corrections could be done later if he worked in RAW? For I once had a very yellow result after an all-day shoot of an event, where everyone looked quite positively jaundiced, and had NOT shot in RAW, so correcting it all in PS alone was hard work!
Correcting WB is extremely easy with a RAW file. You literally drag a bar that changes the temperature of the WB to the desired color...easy as pie.
