Off White
Does halogen give off a purely white light, or will it be off white in my photos?
Like how tungsten light bulbs give off a more orange-ish glow as opposed to purely white light, is this the same for halogen?
I figured the Photography Section would be the best place to ask this because I believe lighting and the spectrum and such, etc, is something most professional photographers would know.
I don't, stupid cheap digital cameras and their lack of white balance. I guess I'll have to do some more adjusting.
*there oops
Actually Atoni, my camera has no way of messing with the White Balance. I've checked numerous times online at Kodak and in the manual, nothing. Which is why I've had to compensate and use daylight aka full spectrum bulbs and avoid anything that isn't in this spectrum range.
If you recheck this Question, it's a Kodak EasyShare Z650.
*Edit* Wow, just found it, thanks, it's terribly confusing. Anyway, I may use the color filters if my local hardware store doesn't stock daylight halogen flood lights.
Every light source has a characteristic spectrum.
Quartz-Halogen have spectrums that go between something like 2400 to 2800 Kelvin depending on the voltage.
Tungsten-Halogen is somewhat higher, something like 2800 to 3000 Kelvin.
The lighting wil be as orange or more orange than tungsten so, unless you have a digital camera that you can compensate for this with, your images will be way off white.

You can download an action set that effectively acts the way that color correction filters would in a film darkroom. This was common in the day. Not all color correction was done by flitering the lens or light sources. This may be an alternative.
If your digital camera has modes, one of them should be tungsten. Try using that with the TLR actions. Using the tungsten mode will make the response of your camera closer to the halogen and make correction easier.
