. . . "gels are propably the most underused tools in photography" -- very true. that´s because noone really knows when and how to use them - including myself -). I´d never thought about using them (talking about the corrections filters) because I thought I could fix it in post. Turned out to be quite difficult, so thank you for this series on videos you made on the topic. I´m glad you produce all this content on Godox products -- without it a lot of us Godox users would be kind of left hanging in the air. There isn´t much coming from the company itself, and the other channels I´ve found so far dealing with Godox aren´t as consistent and well done as yours. So thanks again!

Real estate has gotta be so rough. I can only imagine the overcast color coming in from outside combined with lights of all sorts of colors and tints. Do you find that people tend to have consistent color lighting throughout their homes or is that often screwed up?
@GeraldBertramPhotography5 жыл бұрын
@@robhallphoto I would say 90% of the homes I shoot have mixed lighting not to mention all the color casts you will get from painted walls or certain types of flooring. A lot of photographers like to turn off the inside lights to battle the mixed lighting but I feel that looks odd. When you go to look at a home to potentially buy you don't walk through the house with all the lights turned off! So I tend to adjust my shutter speeds to minimize ambient light and then use my AD200s to bounce light off the ceilings which are usually white in most homes to get the most accurate color. I just feel using flash in real estate looks so much better than ambient only or HDR.

I set up a fluffy toy in the kitchen got some CTO & CTB and just cracked on with the help of you tubers like this. I set up my pixapro softbox/beauty dish with my Yongnou speedlight (not HSS) cut out some squared to cover the flash and then changed my WB to 2500 Kelvin and just dialled in settings that I felt happy with. It was fun to see how all this worked and I can see the potential for more creative photography once I purchase a decent flash.

I hope in future videos you can address this. Much of the time I don’t use a flash but still run into how to manage white balance. I’ve always assumed that raw was the best way to shoot.
@robhallphoto5 жыл бұрын
Shooting in raw does allow you to modify color. The problem is an image with split color. If you have half of an image lit by tungsten lighting and half by daylight, theres no white balance setting that will make both colors look normal. You could use the raw image to do local adjustments like brushing to potentially make it appear one color, but that's so much excess work when tossing a gel on your flash fixes it completely and looks more natural.

@robhallphoto11 ай бұрын
You got it! In the former way, you are getting a "middleground Kelvin". Basically the number if you were mixing light together in a bowl. Unfortunately the light doesn't mix, which results in the split color casts where either light source casts shadows. By identifying the ambient color and gelling your flash to that temp, where either light source hits as well as cast shadows will all be the same temperature.

Last month I got a Godox TT350 speedlight and I've been struggling with the white balance. If I take a picture of something dark or grey and bring the raw file into photoshop or DxO, I see that the proper white balance is around 8000k and -20 for the tint, that's a far cry from the 5500k that it's rated at. I've been getting a cool color cast when taking pictures outside when white balancing to 5500k. If I get a perfect gray or white, then the other colors end up looking warm in my factory calibrated monitor, although I guess that's how it's supposed to look like, I'm just not used to it.

@robhallphoto5 жыл бұрын
Think of it like light color is the outdoor air and post production is a heating/cooling system. Proper white balance is just like a comfortable room. If the air is very cold, the furnace has to heat (add warmth) to even it out. And if the air is very warm the AC has to cool it to even out. The act of choosing your white balance (in camera or in post) is the method of compensating for the color of light. So in order to make blue light (let's say 9000k) white, you have to add lots of yellow. And to make yellow light white you have to add lots of blue. That's why it's represented in the inverse manner.

Robert - thanks for the info, however I'm confused. Just watched a MagMod video with Trevor Dayley and re: the effect of color temps. he said the opposite of what this video states. Namely lowering the Kelvin setting in the camera to around 3200 will create a blue scene, while 10,000 Kelvin in the camera turns the scene a deep orange/yellow. Your color scale shows the higher the Kelvin temp the more blue the image. Am I misunderstanding something? Appreciate your feedback.
@robhallphoto4 жыл бұрын
We're both right. My Kelvin scale shows the color of light at various temperatures, lower number is warmer/more yellow light. Higher number is cooler/more blue light. What the camera does to an image at those Kelvin settings is the opposite. It adds yellow at higher temperatures, to neutralize blue light. It adds blue at lower temperatures, to neutralize yellow light. So the cameras WB setting provides the opposite effect of the true color of light.

If I am photographing in a very large indoor environment in which I must balance the ambient light with the flash light, but I have an extreme situation of lamps with lights at 2800 Kelvin and another at 7000 Kelvin, is it possible to balance these extremes using the CTO or CTB?

@robhallphoto11 ай бұрын
If there's split color in the ambient light sources, the only way to eliminate it is if you can underexpose the dimmer one enough to eliminate its impact on the photos, and then gel your flash to the remaining light source. It also depends how isolated they are from one another. For instance if its can lights with alternating temperatures, there's really no eliminating that difference. But if you have ceiling light at 3200 but window light coming in and both bounce around, then the ambient white balance is probably somewhere in the middle.

In the video I say do not put gels on a flash tube. The flash tube (helical shaped bulb) of the AD200 barebulb is covered by glass, which is safe to put gels on since the glass does not get hot enough to burn a heat resistant gel. But an exposed flash tube (like a PCB Einstein if you remove the diffusion cover) should not be gelled or even touched. Just the oils from your hand can cause the bulb to explode once it gets hot.
