The human eye is amazing. We constantly adjust what we see as white, based on some rather complex phase jiggery-pokery and the brain expecting certain objects to be certain colours.

If you stand in a room with a red tint light, odds are you will still see a white sheet of paper as mostly white. Take a photo of it and it would look really rather red.

By taking a photo which has lots of different light sources, you can really show the difference between them, especially if you bring up the saturation / vibrance afterwards.

It is really fun if you are using flash, a few colour correction gells can have a big impact with photography. A picture of the then miss Animus I took, who had very tanned skin, I used a gell that was orange (or tungsten), set the camera white balance to say tungsten was normal, and it has the effect of shifting everything that wasn't flashed to look abnormal, in this case, very blue, very picturesec sea.

If you have a photo where the main subject is lit by a strong light such as tungsten you will find the rest of the picture will be very blue. If you have a subject lit by Florescent light, the subject will be very warm. A little bit of rain such as last night and blam, the colours come out to play.

Pretty much this. London at night is very colourful as you can see!

Anyways i just missed out on the Canon automn cashback deal and could have got £200 off of the lens had i bought it today instead of yesterday!

I will try and speak to the manager in the store tomorrow and if they dont budge, return it and rebuy THE same item again LOL

[TheAnimus]

Which store was it? A good salesmen would have told you about it upfront so as to keep you as a repeat customer!

[j.o.s.h.1408]

This store http://www.cameraworld.co.uk/homeb?u...upoBTxNlGLug.1 near oxford street

Hmm I've always thought they were one of the better ones in London. Disappointed they didn't warn you about that.

Lately I've been making the effort of distance and going to SRS in Watford, quite a few friends who have just splurged have done so there, and I have to say its entirely positive. They warned me that they thought there was a cashback offer coming in the next week, they would give me a call etc. Clever guys, know full well that making me go in to the shop a 2nd time will result in more money being spent.

[j.o.s.h.1408]

Just got back from the shop. They printed out a new invoice for me without a fuss.

Job done.

[Infinite]

Enjoy your £200

[j.o.s.h.1408]

indeed i will!
