My cheap and effective Gels.

[Mick]

I posted this pic in my "Early years" thread but I doubt many people are going to look in it now thats its old, so i thought I'd post the pic here.

My flash gels. So so many colours, very easy to use (just tape to flash) and as cheap as chips. $3.00, how cool is that!!

hey ya Mick, can you still buy that kit?

[Mick]

Yea mate. I just got it last week. Not sure about how much shipping would be though. You might be able to get them here in Oz. I had ordered some other stuff so it just got chucked in the box with that.

Gee they sure do work well,, love the effect, where do you get them , :)

[Mick]

Sorry for the late reply guys. Cheers for the comments. I got them from B&H (a site advertiser too). Only a couple of dollars too.

that looks good Mick, particularly for BG effects .. but ive been wondering, would regular old cellophane do the job just as well ?? I realise you couldnt use it with hot lights, but with speed lights and small studio strobes I wouldnt imagine that it would overheat , would it ??
