Greg Wood 3 Report post Posted August 22, 2008 Can you advise settings used for your night shots thru glass. Cheers Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kianhong 0 Report post Posted August 22, 2008 Can you advise settings used for your night shots thru glass. Cheers 1. Camera on tripod and exposure as appropriate, but usually longer due to the heavy tinted glass. 2. Stick ur lens as close to the glass and have something like a piece of black clothes or jacket covering your head and camera to prevent reflection from the glass. 3. Shoot in RAW mode and post process in PS. I found that auto WB or tungsten WB won't cut it to remove the orange cast of the high pressure sodium lights. Hope these help. Cheers.
