After our travels in Jasper my wife and I headed to Edmonton to shoot a wedding. We arrived a day early and scoped out the hotel grounds where the formals were to take place.
The day was overcast, good for shadow contrast but kind of dull in the colour department. So, I mounted two SB-6oos on a monopod and enlisted an attendee to point them where I needed.
Both flash units had a 1/2 CTO gel taped to it to warm up the light. The camera's white balance was set to daylight so the light from the flash warmed up the subjects as in the photo included above. The result is a much nicer photo with better skin tones and nicer colour.
Nice Steve,
ReplyDeleteHaven't started carrying a whack of "gels" with me yet. Guess I should, I usually work em in post. I am usually in "spot news" mode so I don't have time to set things up.
