The Aquaglos that I did for a couple of customers, looked terrible under flourescent, but lovely in natural sunlight. A good deal of this can be put to digital photography and its color limitations, to. Seems like I never had this problem with Ektachrome. :roll:
Is this Aquaglo?:

That's a factory one-off I've seen called Turquoiseglo.

This is the Aquaglo that I'm referring to, done by me for Forumite Kevin Kuney, last year:

That is how it looks in daylight.

However, in fluorescent light, it photographs like this:

See the weird cobalt-blue edges on the burst? Typical of fluorescent lighting on this color. Flash is not much better, sadly.

Paul i prefer the photos of the Aquaglo in fluorescent light it just goes to show how photos can change in certain light.Who said the camera never lies.

Can Adam play guitar, Scotty? Because I SWEAR I see him making some chords.

Cool pics overall (although the 330 looks WAY to big on Emma! :wink: )

I agree.

Here are shots of my 1966 340 in natural (shade)

and flash lighting

... quite a difference, and neither is quite right. Part of the problem is the digital camera's response to red ... my Olympus D-400Z and E-500 do not render reds well.

I have yet to find a digital that does red properly. Then, there's green, and blue, and...Uh-oh...
