Varied between looking icky to looking like a gathering of zombies. :) On Dec 20, 2011, at 9:35, Leowesson wrote: > Just curious, did you have an IR filter on the lens? No I did not. My loaner didn't come with IR filters. :( I really should try the same angle some time with P&S cameras I have around. I was shooting from the kitchen which is a mixture of incandescent and fluorescent lighting into the dining room which was lit by an incandescent chandelier. I suspect it will be very tricky lighting for any digital camera. Colour film would not be able to handle this. It doesn't bother me much really since for people pictures, I prefer B&W unless someone has perfect skin. Regards, Spencer
