Can others edit my Photos
Photos OK to edit
And now for something different.
These photographs all represent the same object. (A) are stills from a film shot outdoors under a partially cloudy sky with snow on the ground, the siberian alien video from april. (B) is a photo taken inside. (C) is a still from a film shot inside. The type of cameras used are unknown although (A) is said to have been made with a cellphone.
What light conditions for (B) would've produced the bluish aspect ? It isn't know if a flash was used.
I did not retouch the photos except for sharpening (A)
 
ah s**t. The file doesn't show.
 
It's in my gallery now. The link provided re white balance answers a lot.
 
It's not just white balance, it's also spectral response. Any light created by burning (flash ignition, sun, halogen lamp) creates a black body spectrum we are used to. Any light created as an approximation of white by lighting up select phosphors makes for a really weird spectrum:

So if you had a green square and a cyanish square next to each other they will look the same under all black body lighting conditions (providing the white balance is correctly adjusted), but put it under the CFL with the above spectrum you'll find the cyanish square would be much darker in relation to the green one due to a lack of light emitted at that wavelength.


Not being able to see the original pictures I'm not sure if this answers your question or not.
