1Flash shooting with colored gel filters

The Color Filter Set SJ-R200 (for SB-R200 package) includes two filters for balancing the color of light: the FL-G1 for taking flash pictures under fluorescent light and the TN-A1 for use with incandescent/tungsten light, and the BLUE and RED filters for adding special colors to a scene.

The optional Color Filter Set SJ-2 contains a total of 20 filters in 8 models of colored gel filters (p. 123).

Example I

I-1

Triple-light flash operation (with a colored gel filter)

One SB-R200 unit with a colored gel filter behind the subject is bounced off the back wall to emphasize the simple whiteness of the background.

The main SB-800 illuminates the subject from the front and the SB-600 provides strong light from behind to accentuate the subject to create impressive rim-lighting on her hair.
