| I am trying to work on my night shots took this one at ealry evening and I noticed a blue hue in the finished product anyone have any ideas why this effect? Also the lights appear a bit too bright and loose their desired effect. Appreciate the help as I am a neophyte and now working on my shutter mode in the evening times Thanks |

Hey john
I'm not the expert here but you may have a camera setting out of whack. Pushed the blues way high.
I used a hue and saturation adjustment (just on the blue band). Is that more what you were looking for?

Thanks that may be the problem - now how do I fix it on my camera? I set everything back to default settings. Is this an issue perhaps with the white balance? Here is the settings I used:
Camera: Nikon D40
Exposure: 3 sec (3)
Aperture: f/10
Focal Length: 18 mm
ISO Speed: 400
Exposure Bias: 0/6 EV
ISO Speed: 400
Exposure Program: Aperture priority
Metering Mode: Pattern
Color Space: sRGB
CFA Pattern: BLUE GREEN GREEN RED
Again thanks for your help |

Try a few shots with the default settings and see if that helps. Your camera should have an auto whitebalance feature.
CFA Pattern: BLUE GREEN GREEN RED I'm not sure what this setting does in your camera but it sounds like it could be the culpret... Check your camera docs.

BTW Loved the spider web shot in the contest... refreshing to see something a little different.

Pretty picture! I used to get this blueish tint when the white balance was set on fluorescent, I read somewhere to use the tungsten setting for outdoor night shots. It seemed to help.

| That is a pretty shot, but other than what's already been mentioned, I have no idea how to fix the blue tint. |

On my Kodak it has a snow landscape (or something like that) setting that seems to help avoid most of the blues.
I took a different approach on a "fix" for your shot - which is a beauty by the way. |
