^im happy with the xti...i think what i got was a great combo

just need to learn how to get the blue out of these shots....this was early morning...10am on a overcast day...suggestions?

later that night at like 8pm from the parking lot garage

and one from today at 3pm...very sunny out...yes the vr4 is dirty...2yrs of sitting in the driveway...notice anything in the first pic?..but that will change

damn it...just noticed that yellow spot...gotta check the other shots to see if its there

Pics are likely blue because white balance (color temp) is set wrong. I can't see white balance in EXIF data, so no idea what setting you were using.

White balance is on one of the arrow keys (down I believe?)... you can choose one of the preset color temps, or you can do custom white balance if you have a whiteboard. I just use whichever preset is closest and correct it in photoshop as needed.

Good luck with the XTi, I love mine. Working (slowly) on processing the 800+ clicks I took at the Porsche club race at TWS last weekend. I don't do a whole lot of post-processing, but with action shots a little crop/center never hurts.

Which lens did you end up going with?

^canon 18-55mm IS

97mits3kgtSOHC · 03-21-2008, 02:17 PM

haha yup....i forgot that i changed the setting...now i should go outside and retake those pics...

do you have a filter on the lens? if not the white balance, a filter may be to blame.

Sean I kinda like the blue pic of your car.

Hey random question - the button you push to take a picture - what's the official name for it? I always call it the trigger.
