Question in the back!? What are gels?


Gels are pretty much colored plastic used to change a light color used for stage lighting design. For a pack it can be expensive but there's a guy online cutting it for reef photography for cheap. It removes certain colors (blue) by adding a tint of red to make the pictures look a bit better.

Sorry, guy's my thread was deleted by the MODS as it was violating their rules. But they said nothing about sending PMs. I will send it tomorrow as the information is at work.

Its not against the rules for you to post the information unless you are otherwise affiliated with the member/business in question. We do have rules concerning commercial members/members engaging in commercial activities. Just like a LFS couldn't jump into a thread about their store and start talking their business up, the same goes for members who are engaging in a commercial activity (which buying/creating a product to then resell is considered). :)

There are other places to buy flash gels though. If you have a good camera shop nearby they may have some in a variety of sizes and colors. Otherwise you can buy them online from about a million different places. B&H and Adorama are both my go to photography places and both carry a wide selection of flash gels.

Take your pick, if you're using a camera with a small lens you could just buy a sample pack for a grand total of about $5.00 shipped. Comes with about a 100 different colors of gels.

Though it has to be said, since these are flash gels they're just flimsy pieces of plastic, they're not made with the intent of shooting through for color correction. They're made to put in front of flashes/strobes to color the light. So your image quality is going to take a hit. If you wanted to use the same technique but perhaps step up to something a little better there are actual lens filters which are designed to go on the front of your lens for color correction.
