Problems with Studio Flash I'm having a problem with my studio images coming out "blue". I am shooting with a Nikon F100 with two studio strobes with umbrellas, 400 sp film. The images come out with an overall blue cast, wiping out the skin tones of the subjects. I have tried a variety of lighting positions, apertures, etc. but to no satisfactory end. Any help/advice will be greatly appreciated. Melanie Hines

My answer got deleted. Any, flash light tends to run on the blue side. That's why digital cameras that have pre-set white balance settings have a seperate setting for flash. But I want to ask if you have silver or white reflective umbrellas. White umbrellas have a better color to me. But the simplest and easiest thing to do to try and solve the problem would be to switch films. Different brands can have more yellow in them than others. Or just as easy would be to try a different processing place. I know Eckerds always has pictures that have too much blue in them. But if you work you way up to the problem being your lights just don't have good color, you may not have to buy new ones. You may be able to use faintly colored gels to put over them. Like a faint yellow or gold.
