FLD filter question


I take a lot of indoor sports photography, and use a FLD filter in those arenas with bad lighting. And in pro sports arenas I don't use the filter because the lighting is acceptable.

My question is, what if I'm am unsure of the lighting at the venue? Will using a FLD filter when the situation does not call for it affect my pictures?

thanks,
Lisa

  Yes, Lisa, the filter will unfortunately effect your photo. This is frustrating because it is often difficult to tell which kind of light is being used. When I am unsure or if I fear there is a mixture of various light sources, I try to estimate what kind of light is dominate and filter with that in mind. I note the situation, take a few safety shots (with or without the filter) and then analyze the results.
