What's Going on Here?

06/02/2020 6:06 PM

I just found this old pic.

I saw this guy with a black and white reflection? ..So I grabbed my phone and snapped off a couple quick shots.

I passed him down the road and he had regular flesh color.

...Mind you he does look like a bored vampire.

A reflection of Abe?

Light blue tint to the windows or mirrors cancelling out the flesh tone?

Just a thought.

Yes, that sounds quite plausible...

I passed him down the road and he had regular flesh color.

If the blue tint was in the side window, maybe he rolled the window down...

Another possibility is that your digital camera adjusted its color balance in the interval between the first and later photos due to changes in the ambient light (brightness/directness of sunlight, shadows, cloudiness, etc.). Haven't you ever taken several photos of the same thing from different angles or at different times and had the colors look vastly different (sometimes more saturated, sometimes paler or less intense)? This could have been happening here.

But I agree also with the possibility of window tint affecting the color rendition. You will note that the guy has one of the little pine tree air fresheners hanging from his rear-view mirror, a sure sign of a smoker in the car. He could have opened the window later to have a cigarette, so you saw normal flesh tones.

whatever it was. it was all in the mirror.

I passed him and and saw the window was already down.

it wasn't the camera.

It looked like a b&w television was mounted in place of his mirror.

I've seen a million tinted reflections, but this was particularly odd.

as you can see.

Looks a bit like John Belushi.

Perhaps the flesh color is the illusion?
