Thank you to everyone for your suggestions.
These would never have made it to 'blog' status, but I need help w/ settings! =)
This is what I was talking about in my last post,
This is what I was talking about in my last post,
the green glow from the street light to my right just out of shot is casting green on the snow,
esp in the tree... but it was actually pink outside & it was so pretty!

A closer look at the pic below.
The light at the house is warm & nice, but the others are green.
I know all this photography stuff is trial & error,
but it really upsets me when I can't figure out how to do something, ya know! =0
The ISO is set too high, too, but it was dark outside & I didn't even think to go lower that.

Also, these last 2 pics were taken just minutes apart & I edited out the spots in the pic above,
but they were nothing like what you see in the pic below & it was too cold for bugs.
I took the lens off & tried to see the spots on the inside, but I'm scared to death I'm going to break something... I didn't see any debris on the lens or anywhere inside.
Can I use one of those spray air cans to blow out debris that might be inside?
Or will that damage the camera?

We didn't really get a whole lot of snow last night, maybe an inch or two,
but it started snowing this morning, which wasn't even in the forecast.
They're also calling for snow Monday, Monday night & Tues, too.
I can't believe all the snow, it never snows this much around here!

Do not use a spray can as it is to much and can damage the inside of your camera. The best thing to use is a camera brush with a little air pump squeezy on the end of it and puff and brush it gently , then put your lens back on get a blank piece of white paper and take a photo of it then put on computer and see if the spots are gone they maybe in the camera on the censer . I had this before or you can tip the camera down wards as to not get any more dust in it with the lens on and turn it on and off for a bit as most SLR cameras will clean them selves . Hope this works . I will tell ya I had to get a new camera as the censer in my old camera was causing pixels in my photos and grey spots that even a pro couldn't fix ! Just the camera bodies are cheap it is the lenses that are the most expensive part of the equipment ! Hope you can save your camera and get rid of the spots !
You can buy the camera cleaning kits at your camera store !
An interesting and challenging series. On the off color results: Perhaps you've already done this. I would try all the White Balance variations on the camera: incandescent, flourescent, etc.You already plenty of advice on the spots.
You might not have seen my last comment on your other post, but I suspect White Balance might be the culprit. As far as the spots, the sensor is probably a little dirty and might require a professional clean. Befoe doing that I'd try a Rocket Blower. You can get one on Amazon or any camera site. Good luck!!
We got quite a bit of snow here, so I took some photos today. I looked online for help as to what my settings should be, and one person recommended setting white balance to "flash." I didn't use flash, but it did make the colors more true than "auto."
About the spots, I don't know! Never had that problem before. Maybe wipe with a microfiber cloth? Good luck!
Beautiful snow. I wish I could have some snow- temporarily, of course. :). The lights are probably different type bulbs. Different types of light (sunlight, incandescent, halogen, etc.) have different temperatures, which makes the color difference in photos. The different white balance settings on the camera correct for this, but if there are mixed light sources in the same scene the camera is not able to correct for both. I haven't had much success with mixed light sources looking good. You probably can improve it some with a white balance adjustment in a good post processing software. I too suggest you get a Rocket blower and if that doesn't work, consult a camera pro before attempting any other cleaning on internal parts. Good luck and happy New Year!
You are way better than I dream of being. I love all you photos. Happy New Year...xo,Susie
NOOOOO... Tricia don't use canned air, they have oily propellents that will or can cause damage to your sensor! Use a Giotto Rocket Blaster to blow dust away. Does your camera have a dust removal system? Most do, have you looked through the menu for one? I also use a dust removal system called 'Dust Aid,' it won't damage your sensor... hope this helps.
