Shooting with colored gel filters
With a gel filter (for fluorescent light) and the camera's
white balance set to "Fluorescent"
Modifying the color temperature of the flash to match
that of the overall scene illumination.
If you shoot flash pictures under fluorescent light with your
digital camera's white balance set to "Flash," the main sub-
ject will look normal. However, the background will come out
green. To compensate, use a green gel filter, then adjust the
(
camera's white balance to "Fluorescent" (p. 96).
With a gel filter (for incandescent light) and the camera's
white balance set to "Incandescent"
The same is true when shooting flash pictures under
incandescent/tungsten illumination. In this case, set your
digital camera's white balance to "Incandescent."
