Question A Blue Tint

Hey guys! I am now using the 18-150 mm Nikkor lens all the time now. Shooting on Auto or Landscape modes, it's fine, but when I try to shoot on Aperture mode, I am getting a blue tint to my photos. Does anyone know why this is happening? (If you would like to see an example, look on my Flickr page at the 30 photos set at the one with the sunglasses.)

Sorry....here is the link..... http://www.flickr.com/photos/3103529...7616225769003/

you have your white balance set to incandescent. That is why it is blue. Normally incandescent lighting is very warm (yellow) so to off set this the camera will skew the image towards the blue side. If the lighting you are using is not very warm then the image will look blue.

Yeah, either the camera is selecting the wrong white balance, or the setting is still set from when you were shooting outdoors

I just check his EXIF data. How right you are. Set to incadescent.

I do that all the time--I am writing myself a check list to check Aperture, Shutter speed, ISO and what ever--I am such an amatuer I forget and get some really interesting pictures. Glad to see there are other members of the "OOPS I forgot the ISO Club". LOL
