Topic: Light input

Hi,

When trying to take a picture of just my backdrop, or with just my backdrop and a figure on, the colour drastically changes from the blue I want to a yellow-grey colour. Obviously, this is not my desired effect.

I've tried using different lights, including 'daylight' ones, to no avail. Still the same colour. I've tried changing the angle, the figure used, the camera settings and nothing.

Does anybody know how best to solve this? I'm working to a pretty urgent time scale so any quick responses are appreciated.

Yeah, that was my first thought too so I went ahead and cleaned it up. Same issue remained. Even with a different camera! The problem has been ongoing for the last couple of days. I'm pretty much out of options.

Re: Light input

Maybe you should mess with the white balence on your camera to see if you can get it the right color. Try placing the minifig, focusing the camera, and then take it out of shot.

Re: Light input

That looks strange.  But I think that your camera is vignetting (if that is a verb) on you.  there won't be much you can do if that's the source of the problem.
