The best examples are shots of a player who is not my daughter and I'd
rather not post them to a public site. I'd be okay emailing them to one or
two people in the group who have responded. There's a great pair of shots
taken less than a second apart with essentially identical backgrounds and
very different color balances.

I found a possible explanation for the color balance shift at Ken
Rockwell's
website. In his article "How to Shoot Sports", he states that the rapid
flicker of flourescent or halide lights caused by their 60 hz power
source
also causes flickering of color as well. Our eyes don't pick it up, but
at
higher shutter speeds, the camera can and will sometimes produce white
balance changes from frame to frame. Any thoughts on this?

Er... did you read the reply I wrote?

On second thought, I asked if it was fluorescent, but didn't say why.
And you didn't ask, so forgot to explain. Oops!

Anyway. Can you put a couple of the affected shots somewhere for us to
look at?
