The good news here is that there’s not too much to explain. Get your optical snoot and hold or otherwise secure your gel combo to the front of it…. Yup, that’s it, you’re good to go! There was no sun that day, and I really wanted a sun in my photo. I figured I could create a nice sunset with a flash and a reflector dish.

In video systems, white balance can be achieved by digital or electronic manipulation of the signal and hence color-correction filters are not entirely necessary. However, some digital cinema cameras can record an image without any digital filtering applied; using physical color-correction filters to white balance (instead of digital or electronic manipulation) can maximize the dynamic range of the captured image.
