Re: Problem with still photos with dirty background colors.

With a photo, clarity. You're shooting a highly reflective object and you are getting into the image. I think those are your fingers in the the reflection. The second image looks OK for color, but the reflections of your fingers and the specular highlight of your light are hurting the image.

Reflective objects are really hard to shoot well. Here's a link to a nice writeup of the problem that explains step-by-step lighting experiments and the final result:
