I have this problem of taking portraits under yellow light. athe pic looks dull n shows a yellow haze as a result of the yellow light. They r not crisp n clear.
Also, i don't advocate the use of Flash for portraits as it steals the natural colour. I have also tried using Filters with my Canon 400D but to lil effect. Kindly advice me on this and oblige. |
Set a custom white balance using a photographic gray or white card. You'll find how to set a custom white balance in your camera's manual.
You can use almost anything white in a pinch and get it close. For example, I sometimes use some white coffee filters stacked together as a target. Using a custom white balance allows the camera to compensate for the temperature of the lighting. |
As Jim noted, custom white balance is a good way to go.
If it is available, shooting with RAW is also a good idea. That allows you to easily adjust the white balance after the fact. _______________ But why are you shooting with a yellow light? Do you mean tungsten? If tungsten, likely your camera has a white balance setting: RTFM - Read The Fine Manual. Quote:

Flash lighting can also be effective with the use of reflectors or diffusors or just simply bouncing the light.
