What is a Lighting filter or ‘Gel’? Professional photographic lighting filters are thin, color tinted sheets of polyester film designed to allow a specific quantity and color of light to pass through them. Rogue Flash Gels are manufactured from professional lighting filter material that we process into kits specially designed for use with small flashes. Color Effects Filters Colored lighting filters, or gels, are often used on accent or background lights to spice up an image with color. For example, attach a Smokey Pink gel to your rim light, Oklahoma Yellow to your fill light, or Deep Purple to your gridded background light to add mood or drama to your image. Another way to creatively add color to your images is to create color gradients by attaching 2 or more colored gels to your flash. For example, light your background with a beautiful red to purple to blue color gradient by attaching red and blue gels to your flash side-by-side. Color Correction Filters Color correction gels are also available to help improve your color balance when shooting with flash. Your images will look more natural, and you will save valuable time color correcting your image files simply by using the appropriate color correction gel whenever you shoot with flash. We include a reference card in Rogue Flash Gel kits to help you identify which filter to use to correct for different colors of ambient light. Rogue Flash Gels are Labeled with Color, Color Correction, and f/stop Loss Values We print directly onto Rogue Flash Gels to ensure you always know what gel you’re using and to easily locate the one you need. Rogue Gels are individually labeled with the LEE Filter name of each gel color, as well as the gel’s measured f/stop loss value, and when appropriate, the Kelvin color temperature correction and corresponding camera white balance icon.
