Coulour cast

This is a substantially grey image, so maybe AWB has been confused by it? I can't see any magenta bands on my monitor by the way, but are you referring to the magenta and green fringing down the sides of the vertical metal poles?
This effect is quite common in modern digital photography and is a lens abberation or sometimes a CCD effect depending on the lens used.
What lens were you using?

Hi John thanks for the reply. The bands are down the sides of the image, not the metal posts. Its quite like vignetting but with a magenta cast and full width of the photo.
Lens used is the Samsung 50-200.
Thanks.

That's interesting because it's not obvious as I'm looking at the image here.
It could be a flare effect from side lighting or it could be the white balance setting being off, although the latter would not explain why it would be down the edges.
I would try again, setting the white balance to Daylight.

Its a strange one John, but I`ll have another go on Friday (might be seeing enough strange colours tomorrow)and alter the white balance as you say. looking at my monitor on here its not as prominent, but stands out much more when you view on PSPx2 for some reason.
Thanks again, enjoy your evening.

I can see some vignetting on both side. Maybe your monitor has a slight magenta cast that shows off in darker areas. On my screen, it looks all right (beside the vignetting). If you have a printer, try to get a picture (even on fast draft, you'll see if there is a color cast). Actually, at the price printers are selling now, I can't understand why somebody wouldn't get one to complement their computer.

I know its getting close to party time folks, but could I have some feedback please. I took about 30 pics early today and a lot of them have a magenta colour cast down both sides. Is this due to bad exposure, or something along those lines.
