Fun with Flash!

[jadin]

I went to **CENSORED** and picked up some Avery "Insertable Plastic Dividers" Basically colored folder dividers. They are made of light see-through plastic. My project is to tape the colored plastic over my flash. I basically have filters for my flash. I've also thought of putting these over my flashlight to make a colored spotlight for my night photography.

Best $1.77 I've spent on my camera ;)

filtered flash... never thought of that.

[terri]

Worked like a charm, apparently. :D

[Karalee]

Ingenious. I would have never thought of that.

Word.

If I had a flash, I'd totally try that!

[beetle_slayer]

I wonder what effects, if any, it would have on Black & White with or without lens filters???

[mkieff]

That is a cool idea. I really like the effect it has. Instead of shooting with a lens filter this is a good alternative. I really like how it manipulates the shadows. Can you post some pictures of 3-D objects.

you guys havent seen flash filters before? I have a flash for an older camera that has colored filters for the flash.

Several Vivitar flashes come with a variety of colored filters. And then there's the Lomo Colorsplash; it's a plasticky PNS that has a rotating colored flash filter.

I think the idea is for those who dont have them, a way to do it without emptying your pocket ;)

a way to do it without emptying your pocket
Yup, I bought the same thing Jadin did. 6 colors, enough of each for quite a few filters/gels all for the low price of $2.99

I didn't empty my pockets but I totally understand.
