I wrote those two articles to give you some basic tips and intermediates of color correctly balance your photos in a marriage. As I stated in another article, a marriage has several light sources and these light sources are competing to be the main light in your photos. The problem is that if these light sources were very different color temperatures, your images will have an incorrect white balance. Imagine the taking of a photograph where the room is lit by fluorescent lighting, but in the corner of the room, there is a set of candles in front of a white wall. These two very different light sources will give you an incorrect white balance. To keep this from happening, you must be aware of the light sources in a marriage. I discussed this in the first article, as well as how to use your flash without a color gel in the light of day, or when the main source of light is advanced. In this article, I will give you advice on how to properly gel your flash in different circumstances of lighting.
Inside you will normally be faced with one of the three main sources of light. These are: daylight, fluorescent and tungsten. When you enter a room, you will need to be able to identify the main source of light, then match. I spoke of the light of day in the previous article. If your source of light is fluorescent, they you have to put a fluorescent gel on your flash and set the balance white on your camera to fluorescent lighting. Today, there are different types of fluorescent lighting with different color temperatures. This means that you must perform a few different fluorescent gels with you. Similarly, you will need a few different CTO gels to match different types of tungsten lighting. These tungsten gels are: full CTO, CTO of 1/2 and 1/4 CTO. As before, put a CTO gel on your flash and set the white balance on your camera of tungsten. With a fluorescent gel or CTO gel, try different and see which best fits the main light in the room.
If you enter a room and see the competition light sources, you need to correct the situation. In the example of opening with the room lit by candles and fluorescent lighting, you have two choices: blow on plugs or douse the lighting. If candles are not in the framework, or they are far enough from which you are shooting as they are not giving out of competition light then you can make no problem. Following this principle, if I enter a room and there is tungsten light, I am not going to shoot with my bare flash (which is made to match the light of day). I need to identify as the main source of tungsten and put on a gel to match it.
Finally, lift and the sunset is not normal daylight! This means shooting the couple of marriage with the sunset in the background, for example, that you need to use a CTO gel on your flash. Which one? As mentioned above, try different and see that the most suitable in the light of the Sun gives off the coast at the particular time and place. Hope these tips help. Good luck!
