I knew it was time for my annual medical check-up ;)

Looks like it was a fun weekend :)

I was half expecting to see the nurse from Silent Hill.

Nice shot. Pretty girl. I added some WB correction.

Sorry. I didn't realize you don't have your "Image Editing Okay" option turned on until now. If you want I'll remove my edit.

I didn't realize there was a button for that! I'll turn it on :) Any C&C I get is VERY welcome.

How did you make that dramatic of a change to the white balance? I tried to correct it slightly in Lightroom and it didn't make it any better from what I noticed, so I left it alone. While the shot captured the lighting "at the time", I would really like to get it closer to where yours is.

That quick 2 minute edit was all done in Lightroom. I reduced the color temperature to -55, increased exposure to +24, increased red saturation to +48, green saturation to +51, sharpened to 100, and applied 46 luminance noise reduction. Done.

I think I was hitting the wrong button in Lightroom before, as when I tried it again, I was able to correct it successfully. I didn't go as far as yours on the sharpness or the increased exposure, but its a LOT better then it was before.

Here is a link to the uncorrected, yellow, "before" shot

No problem. You might want to invest in a 18% gray/WhiBal card or Expodisc and set the custom white balance in the camera as well. It'll save you a lot of time in the digital darkroom if you can nail it (or get as close as possible) during the exposure. I found tungsten lighting to be a bit tricky, even if tungsten WB set in the camera. Variances in the actual light temp and what not.

I usually try to adjust in camera, but with this shot, I was so full of green beer, that I was suprised I could hold the camera straight :)

Shooting while drunk. I thought I was the only one that did that. ;)
