Fluorescent Lighting Creates Little Green Subjects From Mars

      This is the result you can expect from shooting under fluorescent lighting without an FLD filter. Another alternative would be to over-power the fluorescents with a strobe set at least two stops (two EV) above the ambient light level. However, because your flash can light-up only the subject, not the entire room, the background would still exhibit the excess green of the fluorescent lights (the brownish banner over this gentleman's left shoulder was actually a bright red).
