what for you need 55 pieces?
just 1 piece orange translucent piece you can adjust for so many different orange intensity already. in fact that's the one you'll use the most for indoor. |

You mean the strobist kit?if i got 55 pieces of them, and i have to think which one is suitable for every occasion, i think i will go mad. Actually its not 55 different gels. It just that there are several copies of those that are commonly used. Comes in handy if you have several strobes. » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « It comes with practice.  Just like how you determine your ISO/shutter/aperture. Besides, I bet you haven't seen the Roscolux Swatchbook yet...  QUOTE(goldfries @ Jan 8 2011, 12:27 AM) what for you need 55 pieces? Nah.

Added on January 9, 2011, 1:43 amand yes, like what you mentioned, some are because of multiple copies. i think the 55 colors are useful for achieving various effect, like say you want key or highlights in a different color. and sorry, earlier i was talking in context of say shooting a wedding or function in a typical warmly lit setting. |

QUOTE(goldfries @ Jan 9 2011, 01:39 AM) yes but i'm saying la, generally when you shoot indoors with ambient light, a single piece of CTO can do a lot already. True but you can't just buy a single CTO or at least not from my experience and those gels are pretty difficult to get hold of.
