My Lightroom calibration for the M8 is red hue +8, red saturation +1, bleu hue -8.

 

 

Thanks, Robert! Do you have any idea what type of lights they had in the stadium: were they mainly white or yellow-based sodium lights? I had a really bad experience with sodium lights and now, I am a little gun-shy about it ... and yes, I also shot a white piece of paper to create a custom WB profile at the location. Yours came out really nicely!

Were you shooting with a Leica? My Canon images never looked this good under the lights.

 

I think the mights might be a GE mercury vapour. I can't remeber, but they are 660v lights and the old film filtration was 40magenta and 10red if you were using geletan filters to correct for the lighting.

Nope, I was using my Nikon D2X and it cannot handle sodium lights even with custom WB but I have not used Expodisc with the D2X yet. It was awfully yellowish and extremely difficult to correct in software.

 

Oh, mercury lights are closer to moonlight, aren't they?

They are probably closer to Daylight flourescent. The only difference in filtration being the 10cc of red. If you shot with a fld filter on daylight film, there would be a cyan cast.

 

A friend is shooting the same games with a D200 and his colours are a bit yellow as you describe.
