130*365: Shooting Under Fluorescent Lights

Share with fellow dog lovers!

We love natural lighting for our photos…but it’s just not always possible. Take, for example, today.

We’re working on a project that involves several trips to our local HomeGoods store (stay tuned for all the details SOON!) and doing a little photography in the pet section of the store. Being a huge store, it is lit with fluorescent lighting. It’s nice and bright but, for photos, it casts a greenish tinge.

Here’s a photo I snapped in the pet section:

It’s not too off in tone but I wanted to warm it up just a little. You can do this using Photoshop (I used a warming action) or an online photo editing site like PicMonkey or FotoFlexer. Here’s how it looks after warming:

And here’s a shot of some pet bowls I shot in the same section. Here’s the before…

…and here’s the after, once I’ve applied the warming action:

It’s a small thing (and you might not really notice it unless you see the before and after side by side) but running a warming action on your fluorescent light photos can make them more appealing!
