Actually now that I think about it I have seen something similar with my 40D. Perhaps something is still on auto despite the settings (auto metering or auto white balance). I would try setting white balance to a specific temperature like 4200K.

Good point, I will give that a crack for sure.

Yep I figured out the focus trick myself, I have a rubber band that slips over the focus ring and holds it in place. The Canon 18mm-200mm zoom has a really loose focus ring in manual.
Im beginning to work it all out and get into a routine now, that has me checking the focus, the ISO, the aperture and the intervalometer timing maybe 5 times before I take a shot. I need to add WB and such other auto items in there too.
