Flash Tests
This evening I got out my camera and flash and set up this scene. At first I was testing different gels on my flash and after that I had the idea for this shot. It took about an hour to do, which I thought was fine since it was my first of its kind. It was interesting adding and removing different beans to get this exact shot.
Gel Tests
Gels are color filters that go over the flash that change the color of the light. For Christmas I got a set of 10 correction gels and 10 effect gels. This chart is each of the different gels plus a few modifications where the gel was too dark.
