So, today's photo should have been published on the 30th of December. That's actually not too bad. Over the next 3 posts, you will see my experimentation with new gels on my SB700 speed light. These are simple photographs as I test out the color gels. I have already used the amber gel for the cast headshots I took a week ago, but this is a more personal and intimate set of practice exercises and review of this gel package.
I began with red, for obvious reasons. It is the Christmas season, after all. I enjoyed this exercise, but post processing has not been easy. I also found that I was challenged in focusing on fine print when shooting with the gel. I am 100% sure this is operator error, but I am not certain of the exact problem.
I saw several Christmas music photos like this one online recently. They did not, however, have the red gel effect. I admit that I coveted those photos and hence, needed one of my own. My angst over this is I wish "Oh little town of Bethlehem" was sharp. Of course, you can see my continued fascination with bokeh, though minimal in this photograph!
Best wishes for a peaceful, blessed and fantastic 2015!
