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.
Great great video - love the explanation. As in videos like this, the is not mention of camera settings, specifically how many stops down in exposure to get the background so saturated
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
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.
Great tips today from you Patrick! I really enjoy the video's this channel puts out. There is so much useful information in them! Keep up the great work and cheers from Boston!
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!
Great explanation on your technique, Patrick. I like how you work on what you want your background to look like first by adjusting the WB and then gel your subjects accordingly.
Patrick, who teaches a complete class for this to to understand the color gel needed to the light around you? i can travel any where cause i need to now this !!
I love altering the white balance when I film the lifestyle videos on my channel to give everything a very orange look! Thanks for the tips! I'll apply them to my future videos
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. :)
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
@@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.
I have magmod sphere, but when I turn the K to 3200 and have CT0 gel in my subjects face is still orange. Not unlike this video where the skin tone is perfect. Please help. 250 shutter/ fstop 10.
nolaPIC let me check, it's s manfroto boom arm which is nice because it goes really high up without the boom aspect plus it has that handle which is good for sand bags
Hello. I don't know why, but I try at my home. I put 3200k wb, orange gel on slave flash but I don,t have blue background and beuatiful skin tone like yours. :( on my photos. :((( Hot it's your raw photos?
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?
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.
I agree
Tutorials that take my photography to the next level. Results that bedazzle the clients. FStoppers rocks.

Wow, Magmod really changed the game in the gel world
This is really the best ofc color balance tuts out there. Thank you!
My favorite orange and blue gels are tide pods
Great great video - love the explanation. As in videos like this, the is not mention of camera settings, specifically how many stops down in exposure to get the background so saturated
This is a great explanation of this! Sometimes people get so confused on this.....great, clear example!
I like this, the whole gelling sections in the wedding videos make a bit more sense now
Use the expodisc to correct the gels from your flashlight and the subject have a 100% correct whitebalance. Great video thanks!!!
this is blowing my mind! thanks a lot for sharing this awesome video!!!

Well that is exactly what I did in the second half of the video. Both techniques are really helpful.
Fstoppers yeah that second look is really nice. I’m particularly into the shot at 4:41, going further with the style
Damn that's brilliant. That Profoto beauty dish also does a hell of a bangup job too!
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.
Wow. I didnt know gel could make such huge difference until today. Thanks

What's up @octavious?
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!
I love this tip, I'd be interested to see if you can re-create this for different skin tones.
Love that park, when the right conditions are there, you get some great pictures.
Thank you Patrick. Quick and to the point!
This is amazing. Thanks for the tip. Also great videos lately can't wait for more.
It all makes sense now! Great explanation
Great video explained things really clearly, nice job as always.
I love this tip and can't wait to try it out myself. I love the stuff you guys are putting out there!
Great explanation on your technique, Patrick. I like how you work on what you want your background to look like first by adjusting the WB and then gel your subjects accordingly.
love it, keep this coming, creative , any camera now days can take perfect WB photos, creating sometime takes an idea.
One of the best tips I have seen recently!
Thanks this was one of the best explanations I have every seen on this subject.
Patrick, who teaches a complete class for this to to understand the color gel needed to the light around you? i can travel any where cause i need to now this !!
This was really good Patrick. Really made up for that video on the fly with that portable editing device.
Very clear guide to using gels. Thanks for sharing ;-)
I'm so grateful for your advice thanks so much!
Amazing video. If possible share more... To use it for more creative options.

Good stuff 👍🏾👍🏾
I learned something today
Thank you for the video, I appreciate that.
Going on a sunset shoot in 2 wks. This is great info.
Great technique Thanks
Very informative tutorial. Thanks
awesome technique!!
Can we adopt the same process during bright day light and get the same results? Thx.
This is super useful. Thank you!
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?
Yep!
Great tutorial, thx a lot!CAn you give away some of the settings? Iso, f/... etc?
awesome tip. thank u
Thanks! So, rule of thumb: Set the WB for the background, use the exact opposite colour as a gel on your flash?

LOVE .. LOVE this!!!

Not a bad idea...and no we are not done haha, we are working everyday to make new ideas
When do you this with your gel do you also acquire a grey card for white balance ? Just in case let me know really appreciated. Great tip thank you.
If I am shooting RAW, does it really matter if I set the color temperature in camera? Thanks for a great video.
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

I don't know why I have to click that bell next to the subscribe button every some time.
Love that park 😍😁
Great Video!!! Please tell me this background music in the first half.
What about just making a selection of the background in photoshop and making it a different wb?
loved it
Just seeing this. Around what power was your flash?
Awesome ✨
Awesome, I gotta try this 👏
very helpful, thanks!
What flash you recommend?
Finally hands on. 👌
so impressive!
THANK YOU, that was a great tutorial! Didn't you up the Kelvin to 10,000 on your camera(the one on the left?
Lightroom make a great work i think
Woman this So Beautifull
AWESOME tip!!
May I know which strobe you were using in this video, I want to buy a same one
I have magmod sphere, but when I turn the K to 3200 and have CT0 gel in my subjects face is still orange. Not unlike this video where the skin tone is perfect. Please help. 250 shutter/ fstop 10.
Perhaps you can try a 1/2CTO.
Brilliant!!
nice! do you have a link fo that light stand? I have c-stands but I 'm looking for something lighter, yet sturdy enough for profoto B1 with modifier.
nolaPIC let me check, it's s manfroto boom arm which is nice because it goes really high up without the boom aspect plus it has that handle which is good for sand bags
Thanks! I think you should always link to the products used, it's useful and you guys can also make a few extra bucks off of 'em.
Thanks! Great stuff
Cool...What about indoor...🤔🤔😭
Great tips!
Great video!
WOW nice bro….
Really cool tip man!! :)
what is the colour temperature of the light? is it 5500k?
Great tip!
