Working with Gels
Well my order from Rosco arrived and it was time to have some fun. Working with gels is something new to me. I’ve had the standard CTO gels laying around gathering dust and that’s about all they did. Then I saw some photos some really good shooters had produced and I just had to try my hand at it.
In my studio I mainly shoot on black or white seamless and occasionally on thunder grey. I wanted to see how the gels would do on each. I found that shooting on black produces a richer saturation and can produce a more textured appearance than on white - which can produce a more pastel effect. This is not to say gels on white can’t produce gorgeous rich colours as well. It’s all in developing a subtle touch.
The biggest problem I found in shooting in such a tiny studio is of course light hitting the model when you only want it to hit the background. Barn doors and bookends can help control that but you need a lot more space to set a system like that up. I tried every configuration I could think of and finally decided if I couldn’t control it - I would embrace it.
For the photos in this eZine I worked with Daisy - a fantastic and very professional model on a black background exclusively. She knows her poses and expressions and can totally own the stage. All I had to do was manage the lighting and click the shutter.
Toward the end of the shoot I switched over to lighting the model with gels. It’s a lot more finicky getting that right and the model has to stay more in one place. I used a bounce to kick light back from the orange gel lighting her while a single blue lit the background. It’s very hit or miss and if Daisy moved too close or far from the lights it would make a big exposure difference due to depth of flash.
I found filters on the orange side worked especially well but browns didn’t. Browns tended to look metallic and not so brown. I imagine they can look brown as expected but only if turned way down. Blue filters rock as does green but reds - nah. I have my favourites picked out :-)
So that’s my story and I’m sticking it.

I love the point in a shoot when a model gains her confidence and freeforms like a pro. First-time model Ivory is rocking her shoot :-)

Le Bois de Hal (en néerlandais : Hallerbos) est une forêt de 552 hectares au sud-est de Hal. La plus grande partie de cette forêt s'étend en Brabant flamand, une petite partie étant située en Brabant wallon.
Ce bois est particulièrement connu pour ses vastes étendues de jacinthes sauvages qui fleurissent habituellement autour de la fin avril, début mai.
ENG:
The Hallerbos (Dutch for Halle forest) is a forest in Belgium, covering an area of 552 ha (1,360 acres). It is mostly situated in the municipality of Halle, in Flemish Brabant and has also a little part in Walloon Brabant.
The forest is known in the region for its bluebell carpet which covers the forest floor for a few weeks each spring, attracting many visitors
NL:
Het Hallerbos is een bos met een oppervlakte van 552 ha ten zuidoosten van Halle (511 ha op Hals grondgebied). Het bos is grotendeels eigendom van het Vlaams Gewest en een klein deel van het Waals Gewest en privé-eigendommen. Het Hallerbos vormt een stil recreatiegebied, dat sterk op prijs gesteld wordt door de bevolking van de omliggende sterk verstedelijkte zones. Het is zeer toegankelijk dankzij de vele paadjes, en voor een kennismaking zijn er drie wandelroutes uitgestippeld.
(...)
Het landschap van het Hallerbos wordt bepaald door een vrij vlak massief van ongeveer 120 m hoogte, en is van noord naar zuid doorsneden door vijf valleitjes, met in de dalen opborrelende bronnen. De heuvelkammen zijn bedekt met leemlagen en de steile hellingen met dikke zandlagen. Dankzij de bebossing zijn er sedert de laatste ijstijd weinig wijzigingen opgetreden in dit afwisselende reliëf. De oudste wegen in het bos hebben zich op enkele plaatsen ontwikkeld tot diep ingesneden holle wegen.
Wegens de diversiteit van de bodemtypes in het Hallerbos, zijn de herbebossingen grotendeels uitgevoerd in functie van de lokale bodemkwaliteit. Mede door deze diversiteit vertoont het geen monotoon karakter, maar biedt het een mozaïekachtige bosstructuur, met wisselende bosgezichten en een grote rijkdom aan boomsoorten.
De meest opvallende plantengemeenschappen zijn wel het eiken-haagbeukenbos met wilde hyacint (Endymio-Carpinetum) en het minder diverse maar in oppervlakte grotere eiken-beukenbos met wilde hyacint (Endymio-Fagetum).
De samenstelling van de boomlaag is ongeveer als volgt:
##70% van de oppervlakte, op leem- en zandbodems: loofbomen, o.a. beuk (202 ha), eik (108 ha) en es (5 ha)
##30% van de oppervlakte, op zandbodems: naaldbomen, onder meer gewone den (85 ha), Corsicaanse den (16 ha), douglasspar (20 ha) en lork (10 ha)
Ondanks het drukke bosbezoek verblijven er een tiental reeën in het Hallerbos, die soms naar omliggende domeinen trekken om de rust op te zoeken. Hierdoor groeit het reeënbestand haast niet aan, hoewel er binnen het Hallerbos niet op ze gejaagd wordt.
Bij de roofdieren onderscheiden we de vos, bunzing en de wezel, waarvan de populatie moeilijk in te schatten valt.
Er zouden 105 verschillende vogelsoorten zijn waargenomen, waardoor het Hallerbos zich mag beroepen op een rijk vogelbestand.
Het merendeel van de kruidachtige vegetatie bestaat uit lentebloeiers, die hun optimale ontwikkeling kennen vooraleer het kronendak van de bovenste etage zich volledig sluit. Zeker de wilde hyacint, die van einde april tot half mei plaatselijk uitgestrekte blauwe bloemtapijten gaat vormen, mag de meest typische plantensoort van het Hallerbos genoemd worden.
