Fluorescent lights? They have a substantial green component.

Did three shots at this situation, one came out green, two red.

Same place, different angle:



Don't know how the "green" element came to be, but I like it.

What was your shutter speed? Fluorescent lights "flicker" with different colors at different times that we don't see with our eyes.

Can't remember, but it was definitely ranging from 1/8 to 1/60 during a number of shots that were taken on that bar.

I think the green works, adds an exotic feel. Very striking image.

In the USA, typical AC current frequency is around 60Hz. Other parts of the world around 50Hz. So a 1/30th shutter would capture the whole cycle of the light and 1/60 or faster would capture a phase of that cycle (at 50hz), I believe. The picture is awesome, btw.

Pentax 67, 105mm/f2.4, Kodak Portra 400, and I have no idea where the green lighting came from. it didn't exist in the location, it didn't show up in other photos.

This series rocks. I love the P67 + 105 combo. Great stuff.

It looks almost like the light is coming up from out of the surface of the bartop. Regardless, If they used LED lighting, which often use pulse width modulation to control ther brightness of the R, G and B LEDs, you may have tripped the shutter during the time that the green LED was switched on and the red and blue were not.

This one goes way back.

love that, Austin

Thanks Z. Point Reyes is one of my favorite places in the world. Here're a couple more color shots from the peninsula. These two were made on slide film and I can't seem to get the color right, but I'm tired of fooling with them.
