If your camera is capable of Custom White Balance, learn it and use it. The first shot is a photo of a white card under my HPS. It uses this photo and compares it to "true white", which the camera knows what that is, and calibrates the camera to shoot the right temperature. The two following pics are both taken under HPS. The 4th pic is a shot of the same white card under cool white CFL's and the pic that follows is under that light.

i have only seen this on low quality cameras, i always assumed lower quality cameras, like the ones on cell phones can't handle that level of light intensityOriginally Posted by Undercover Cop
i only have magnetic ballast , so i cant try taking a pic under a digital hps with a cell phone to rule that out
the best camera i have .. which is still only a point and shoot type camera can handle bright light without as much distortion
i take my pictures under an old 250 watt mh i find it gives good lighting for nice pictures ..
only the best camera i have can take a picture like this below , the camera was less that 1ft away from a 250watt mh
the others would distort pretty bad in that much direct light
peace

Tough for me, closed room with only green lights so either hps or dark lol I do agree with you I hate the photos that I take they look like crap.

Should rename the thread to: Posting Pictures with an HPS on!!! ... Please turn them off for pics (unless you know wtf to do).
A must toy for the indoor grower who wants to really see what thier plants look like. The method seven HPS filtering Sunglasses. I have looked at these for months in High Times......but they are a bit pricey @ 150.00, but in last months High Times they rated these as one fo the best new products for indoor growers. So I had to buy a pair and let me say, I will NEVER work in HPS light again without these on. They really do everything they say. I took a few pics with my camera phone, using the lense on the glasses as a filter......they came out pretty good. You can see the difference, in one pic where I split the lense on the frame.....so you could have a side by side look. These are my Raseberry Cough and Blackberry ladies at about 3-4 weeks of 12/12...not all pics same day.
Enjoy: Stlmatt
PS I am not a salesperson from this company......just a grower who like to do thing right and have all the toys...
