Gary Fong colored gels, used with Whale Tail?
October 30th, 2009 | by Kert |
just me asked:
I have a Gary Fong Whale Tail and so far I’ve really been satisfied with the results it’s given - I decided to purchase another one to test out using the colored gels to change the color of a simple white backdrop -
I watched the video that came with the gels regarding creating that effect but it didn’t work for me - my background stayed white, no color cast.

I used two sb800 speedlights on stands - one with the whaletale w/ colored gel pretty close to the back drop, camera left - and the other camera right back of the room with a shoot thru umbrella.

My room is small, 12X10 I think so I’m thinking that maybe the left light was overpowering the one with the colored gel? I tinkered with the settings on both lights, lowering the power and so forth, still no luck. Not really sure what I’m doing wrong - anyone have any experience with this product that can “shed some light” to me on how to create this effect? I would so appreciate it!
