Hi David,

But something is very odd with this photo.
Take a look.
http://www.furnfeather.net/Look/BeerSign.html
The tent, sky, snow, clothes, faces, etc. are all the right colours.
But the sign appears to be RED lettering on a YELLOW background. In
reality, it has BLACK lettering on a flourescent ORANGE background.
Can anyone tell my why this should be?
A few things that I noticed...
On my screen, the lettering looks purple on a background that is yellow
with a hint of red (not enough to be "orange").
Reflections of the sign in the ice in front of it are red.
If I look at the picture off-axis by tilting my screen (LCD), the
lettering looks black on a florescent orange background! Also, the
lighting looks more as I would expect during the tilt, but gets too
"dark" by the time the sign's colors are correct.
All of this leads me to think that sensors have rendered the quirky
colors as a result of trying to balance the light levels between the
bright snow and subjects in the shade.
Best regards,
Neil
