- The high temperature fluorescent lighting emits leads to inadequate red light and a greater concentration of blue and green light, which produces an unnatural blue or green tint on color film.
- People photographed in fluorescent lighting often appear to have dark, sunken eyes with dark shadows beneath.
- Fluorescent lighting illuminates a room with a brighter and more even light, which highlights details in photographs that might appear shadowed with other types of lighting.
- An appropriate filter and color negative film can help correct the unnatural tint fluorescent lighting produces.
- If a digital camera is used, instead of adding a filter lens, activate the "white balance" feature to shift colors and decrease the amount of blue and green light (see Resources).
