    Getting some blue and orange corrective gels was probably one of the best investments to my portrait photography

      What if you dont have that kind of flash, it works with an umbrella?

    @JoeyJonaitis Před 6 lety +6

    As a pro photographer this is one of the first videos that I really REALLY took something away from. Don't get me wrong you guys make great stuff, this is just really good info.

    You guys are making great videos everyday since this year. Small tips like these which were never heard anytime before. Tips that you have gathered through years of experience. Thank you for sharing them with us and making such short videos on them.
    I greatly appreciate the videos you are putting up nowadays.
    Keep doing it please.
    I am learning alot from them.

    Damn that's brilliant. That Profoto beauty dish also does a hell of a bangup job too!

    • @FStoppers
      @FStoppers  Před 6 lety +2

      Ha yeah! I've been using it more and more on location just because I don't have to build anything and I can throw it in the back of my car and not worry about it.

  • @chrisogrady28
    @chrisogrady28 Před 6 lety +2

    I usually use gels for the opposite reason, to accentuate the light temp difference. In the park shot I would have used a CTO and cooled the background a bit less than a full CTB’s worth. So you have a warmer than normal subject on a cooler than normal background. This stylised look creates a lot of depth and things close being warm and far away being cool is naturally pleasing to humans

    • @FStoppers
      @FStoppers  Před 6 lety +1

      Well that is exactly what I did in the second half of the video. Both techniques are really helpful.

    • @chrisogrady28
      @chrisogrady28 Před 6 lety

      Fstoppers yeah that second look is really nice. I’m particularly into the shot at 4:41, going further with the style

  • @timothymcdaniel7372
    @timothymcdaniel7372 Před 6 lety +7

    Great video! It seems I've been using my rogue flash gels completely wrong (color correcting in ,the wrong direction). Can't wait to try these tips during my next shoot!

  • @ShamanBhat

  • @mcmc-o9w
    @mcmc-o9w Před 6 lety +1

    If i get this right,
    For warm ambient light, increase kelvin but use a blue gel
    For cool ambient light, decrease kelvin but use an orange gel?

  • @franzst.664
    @franzst.664 Před 6 lety +1

    Thanks! So, rule of thumb: Set the WB for the background, use the exact opposite colour as a gel on your flash?

    • @phaskellhall
      @phaskellhall Před 6 lety +1

      Franz Steinberger yeah in a nutshell. Of course rules are meant to be broken and if you are really good you can gel things super weird and get interesting effects in post. I prefer to get a solid normal balance and then add strange effects later but there are many ways to skin a cat

    IF you guys haven't yet finished filming all the 30 videos of this intense month, why not record one telling us the story of Fstoppers? How did you guys meet? When the idea came of creating Fstoppers? How was that process? And when did you move from just a photography duo to an internet "thing"? And the next step - tutorials and so on? It would be a nice thing to know. :)

    If I am shooting RAW, does it really matter if I set the color temperature in camera? Thanks for a great video.

    • @FStoppers
      @FStoppers  Před 5 lety +3

      Technically no but you do want to make sure the difference between your ambient light and the gel on your flash is pushed far enough apart to get the effect. Setting your WB correctly in camera will help you see what you flash is doing with any particular gel. -P

    • @photorocket4550
      @photorocket4550 Před 5 lety

      @@FStoppers thanks for the fast response. In the old days I remember using gels in volume. Showing up to a commercial shoot with tungsten and daylight film and using a Nikon color temperature meter figuring out what was the easiest way to balance the light. I remember using huge sheets in fluorescent light bulb fixtures. The small tungsten light fixtures for the hardest.
