As long as I know cold temperature light sources subpress red colours and enchance blues, warm sources enchance reds and subpress blues. So, will be any difference, if I shoot skin with tungsten (2300K) light source, compare to if I shoot it with normal flash strobes or daylight (around 5500-6500K). In both cases my in-cameraRead more
