[Rhodes22-list] Strobing stripes

[Lou Rosenberg]

  Slim,
Try shooting the boat at an angle of  less than 45degrees . 
Unfortunately, I know this is not the optimum way you want to show 
your boat, but this could fool the imager or just minimize the 
vibrating colors.  There is no parameter in the cam that will really 
assist in eliminating this strobe effect completely.  White balance 
is calibrating your camera to the  color temperature of the current 
scene.  Most times its a preset between indoor, outdoor and 
flourescent or manual.
So what i am saying is shoot the boat and try to frame out the 
pinstriping,  You will end up with alot of head room or space over 
and under the boat depending upon the way you choose to shoot.  Then 
you can crop it out later in an image manipulation program like 
Photoshop.
  If  you use a Mac , there are simpler prgms on the newer Macs to 
allow you to do this easily.

  hope this helps
