CTO (Color Temperature Orange) Warming Gel Filter Selection Kit 8 x 8 Inches

Product Information

Once more, look again at the shots and see how the front of the model is slightly warmer in tone thanks to that softbox with the CTO gel inside. while surfing. It was in another forum and I just copied this part. Still not sure about the application.

Accurate white balance depends on the color temperature of the scene. To have technically correct white balance, the color white is represented as perfectly white in your image. This is part of why many photographers take a photo of a grey or white card as a reference to later use to adjust the raw image for white balance later. Many also may just shoot on AWB. Since warm and cool are colors, we can change their characteristics by modifying color. In lighting we achieve this modification by using various colored gels of varying densities.Lets examine the first and simplest method. Method One – Using Color Gels on the Flash Using the same colors but a different lightning we can have a soft render, here the cyan reflects on a white wall and a reflector is added under the model.

Photograph #7 – selective lighting

How to watch today's Apple October 'Scary Fast' event live - will we see new M3 MacBooks and iPads? The blue gel was directly used towards a white wall to project the light in a very diffused way all over the room. Place two lights either side of the white sheet and point them up towards the low ceiling above. These two lights should have open dish reflectors attached to them so that we can spread the light over the ceiling as much as possible. Soft light tends to be more pleasing than undiffused light. Harsh highlights and shadows disappear, and the transition between light and shadow areas becomes more gradual. Probably the main use for soft light is in portrait photography, but it can also be very useful for macro and product photography too.

Balancing Color for Flash and Ambient Light using Gels

Apollo Design Technology uses a four digit number based on the visible spectrum to designate and locate specific color transmissions. The optical snoot has a very specific quality to it thanks to its ability to create incredibly hard light resulting in the modifier producing very strong shadows and highlights. Its other core feature is that it can shine very defined highlight and shadow shapes thanks to its focusing lens at the front. The shapes that it shines are often referred to as gobos and they are metal disks with patterns cut into them that sit in the modifier itself. You don’t have to use the gobos though and I often just use the optical snoot as a very hard light source and that’s what I’ll be doing again here in the following lighting setup. Gelled Colour GradientsLet’s look at some practical examples where I used gels for effect and I will tell you exactly what I did and why. Using Color Gels on a Fill Light Or they can be used to light your subject. Using multiple lights with different colored gels can create great images. I think part of the strength of this technique is that it is not an overly used effect - you don't see images purposefully lit with two different colors that often. In principle, these setups are actually very simple. After all, we’re only using one light in some cases…. and anybody can place one light right? ;) But whenever we use a VERY hard light source like an optical snoot we need to be extremely careful with where we place it due to those unflattering shadows. Plus, we also need to be mindful of what colours we’re combining too. Always use some basic colour theory, but don’t forget to consider the density of the gels too. So before you pull out the tape and scissors and begin splicing old gels, here’s some points to remember. Points to Remember! Laura Barisonzi Photography.
