AboutAkshay Singh Jamwal Expertise I can answer questions questions relating to SLRs (35mm or DSLRs) and general photographic technique. I have good knowledge and understanding of photographic principles (film or digital) and lighting.
Questions about studio lighting, studio flashes, and flashguns are also welcome. Questions about theory (e.g. colour theory, guidelines behind composition, depth of field, etc.) are welcome as well.
Digital photography also involves some amount of post-processing using an image editing application such as Adobe Photoshop; a program that I am proficient with.
I cannot answer typical generic questions, viz. "Which is the best camera?," as the short and sweet answer to questions such as those is "There is no such thing." Furthermore, there is a lot of literature available on the web pertaining to the same.
Experience I'm a professional commercial photographer and have been passionately taking photographs since I was 13 years old. In totality, I've been involved in photography in one way or another for over a decade. I've used various cameras (and lighting equipment) over the years, including but not limited to Minolta/Konica Minolta, Nikon, Canon, and Mamiya.
I have just started experimenting with photography. I use a point and shoot (Kodak Z710). Whenever i shoot pics at night i get a brown/yellow glow on the images. I do not use the flash but crank ISO to 400(max on camera). How do i avoid this glow and does this have to do anything with white balance? Thanks for your time and help. . .
Answer Hi Carl.
The yellow glow you're talking about is most probably a white balance issue as you suspect. Street lamps (or indoor bulbs) are typically incandescent, meaning they are a 'yellower' source of light than the sun or daylight. Try setting the camera to a 'tungsten' or 'incandescent' White Balance. The icon usually looks like a bulb with rays emanating from it. That should reduce the yellow cast on your images.
