Help me. I'm colorblind...literally

Quincy T

So, I made these images of my lovely wife yesterday evening. I'm not going to lie, I went through and processed all of them too quickly and a photog friend on facebook, whom I trust, called me out on some greenness in my baby mama. I have dichromacy, which is a kind of colorblindness and while it usually doesn't hinder me, I think it's keeping me from seeing this supposed greenness. Can you help me pick out the bad images? Thanks!!

Very nice set of pics!

I'm no expert, but they seem fine to me, except for #6, which seems to leaning a bit much into the green hue.

Good to know! Thank you, AJ, I'll have a look at that one as soon as I escape the prison that is work.

Also, I like your avatar. Just out of curiosity, do you do a lot of auto shoots? This is just a random shot in the dark, but if you do happen to, would you mind a PM? I have a shoot coming up with a group of BMW enthusiasts, and I'd like to get some tips/tricks!

#9 is quite green too. Beautiful photos!

6 & 9 have the most green. Excellent pictures though.

except for 6 they look ok on my screen

To me only #6 and #9 have color problems.

Well I'm glad I'm not too crazy! I can see a tonal difference, and while it looks fine to me, it's good to know that I can count on DGrin for some serious consistency in opinion on this matter haha. Can't wait to get home, fix these, repost, and fill my life with shameless internet praise hahaha.

Ditto on 6 & 9. Rest are fine.

Quincy T

Fixed?!

Yes! Much better!

Here's a thought.....................since you are color blind, how about making sure you take a photo with a gray card under each different lighting you may encounter.

Yes, more work but you could then use the WB eye dropper and should get the WB correct automatically.

Thanks! Actually, the red 944 in the avatar is me, as taken by my wife at VIR's Oak Tree corner. I'm strictly a hobbyist, but love to take pictures at car events, especially when I'm participating. Many such galleries on my smugmug link in my signature.

I'll try to send you a PM later today with some of my thoughts/comments. But others here do a much better job with "formal" shoots of cars.

I guess i'm the only one who liked the "green" versions...

This is a really good idea.

That'd be great. I'll be shooting with a group of BMW M3 enthusiasts here in Tampa after a friend who is involved with the group turned me onto it...I'd love to get any tips. I'd also love to get 10-22, but that's less likely to happen.

Quincy T

Sorry for the late bump, but I should have also asked for any and all critique as well...not just whether or not they're green haha. Since it will probably be a while before I have a model this lovely again, and time to get out there and shoot with one, I beseech you in my humility to tear these images apart and tell me what's up.

6 10.
Try bringing the exposures up, that may clean up your skin tones.
I think 7 is my favorite of these. Looks like she is really enjoying the photo shoot.
