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.

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 that looks like Petrol i love it excellent photos.
Stunning hows about a Adamglo and a Emmaglo ( with chickenpox poor girl!)

My 620 really suits Adam id better not tell em or he will want it

Is that a Gibson strap i see before me! Oh ,the shame

Great pics Scotty

The shame is on me.

Awesome pics, Scotty..... I can see that you're raising your kids right! They look like they are really enjoying your Rics...and treating 'em right, too!

Mel, Let me tell you taking the pics was a nervous couple of minutes but aslong as you enjoyed them it was all worth while.
P.S Has your two recovered from the "Incident" last week!

Scotty, that's the Ultimate Clown Glo in your avatar...bleccchhh...

HA HA Killer clowns from Glasgie!

Sorry ive hijacked this thread back on topic.
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.

Anyway your just saying that cause i thought that was you in the blue dress!
I knew there was too much talk of nail varnish a couple of months ago.

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! )

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.

Wow youd think there where 2 different Rics.The camera DOES lie after all.

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