tanjq87, the ones I found at Studio Zaloon lately are too strong green. Maybe 4500K M9 will do the trick.

I can't find my old Lee filters - that one was really just right.

alpha_company: Flourescent light is actually green... refer to the front page of the Alpha thread. By the way the SB-800 and SB-900 come with the correct, accurate flash gels, just like the Lee ones I use.


Personally I do not like too much tungsten in my pictures - I like to be able to see skintones and color tones. Shot at 2800K.

Interesting thing about skintones and greens, is the CFA (Color Filtration Array) used;

I also would not shoot too wide - stand back instead and zoom in for a more classy look. This was at 60mm (40mm, for those on APS-C.)


Of course, you can go without flash for the effect. This was Auto WB.


I loved this spot! Always worth scoping the area for such photogenic spots.


I'm quite glad that the house was consistently lit all over with tungsten light. The vignetting comes naturally with close focus and a full-frame Sony A900.


Here, I should've used the flash without gel, because the background light was still daylight. So I tried exporting 2 JPEGs from the RAW, one corrected for tungsten the other daylight and merging it, but it did not look as catchy as this 2800K-only version.


So what can 24.6 megapixels do for you?
