Julie,

Thank you for bringing this to my attention. I have Chris Saper's book and after looking up some info on my lightbulb, I was mistaken, the bulb I used for my 'babysitter portrait' photos including the one above was a 6500K bulb, just as you thought it should be.

So I still have the same question, why does this 6500K bulb give me a warm photo?
