Trevor, that was so informative and enjoyable to watch. Thank you for going over it so many times. Cheers Joe

Great explanations ! Great video ! Thank you !

This is really great. I'm a newbie and I learned so much from just this one video. Thank you Trevor, I can't wait to learn more.

I loved the video, lots of great info, I especially liked the final WB trick to enhance the sky/background color while keeping the subject color correct! Thanks

You seem like such a nice person. I am a fan, you have help me more than any one with my photography!! I have a ton of magmod products. God bless you and you big family!

There is a basic working principal to understanding color saturation with color gels. You will learn quite a bit from a Photographer named *Dean Collins* on the subject of producing *Color Chromazones* on your backdrop and subjects. *Shooting at 18% Middle Gray* for any given exposure produces one Consistent Color saturation. If you lower your exposer by -4 1/3 f-stops below 18% gray, you will produce *Absolute Black.* And you if raise your exposer by +2 1/3 f-stops above 18% gray, you will produce *Absolute White.* You now have a working system to create consistent color control and Color Saturation. Between Absolute Black and Absolute White, and 5 Shades in between. You measure your background exposure with a light meter set to *Reflected,* measuring the light falling on your background as your raise or lower your lights output in increments of +1, +2 stops or -1, -2 stops to produce whatever color saturation you are trying to produce. 18% Gray is your Starting point. Starting with your *Subject Ambient* Light meter measurement. *With your Light Meter Set to Reflected You measure and change your Background light output by* : 72% = +2 stops above 18% Brightest Color 36% = +1 Stops above 18% Brighter Color 18% = 0 is your Starting point measurement 9% = -1 Stops below 18% Darker Color 4.5 = -2 Stops below 18% Darkest Color

Eey Trevor, thanks so much Mate. Huge content in your presentation. I have learnt a lot. Really appreciate Mate👏🏽👏🏽🙏

I'm ten minutes in and theres so much great information !! Thanks!!

That is an amazing in camera setting trick to change the colors.

Awesome video Trevor. Should be a sticker inside all gels you sell that reads watch this video first! Now that we have all of the crazy creative/artistic gels, would like to see some earth tones.

Thanks for the trick of WB. It will be very helpful.

Thank you for this!!!!

Hi Trevor. Thanks for wonderful video. I have question on the 4-step "Custom White Balance Set". Let's say we select orange as solid color (sunset) in step 1. After step 3, the camera will produce the color in background like sunset. Now, in order to have the correct color on the faces and bodies of the objects (couple in this case), we have to use step 4, i.e., use the Magmod gel in the opposite color of orange (I think it's green?) in the magmod sphere/grid to cancel out the effect of the orange that was set in the step 3 (CWB). Am I correct? By the way, in step 4, what do you mean by Primary Color? Thank you.

You know what You are amazing 👏

Good morning Trevor from Yorktown, VA

Great Video dude! Got it now but it's never too late for me.. I'm gonna try these tricks in my next shoot. BTW, I've a question about the GREEN COLOR GEL. Is there no particular White balance number to get magenta background instead of using the slider to increase magenta in camera or tint slider in lightroom. Thanks a lot for the video. Greatly appreciate it. Greetings from Chowdry Photography, Bangalore, India.

How easy is it change out the colored gels in the MagGel? The video on the MagGel page shows the photographer swapping out colors, but he does that using 2 different MagGels.

Same basic principle, set ambient (background) then flash.

Trevor, If you are an event with crazy disco lights all over the place, can you then combine the blue red green colours together to overcome the effects of the crazy disco lights on your subjects.

Wow creative 😀👍

How do you use ND gel ? Please share a example.?

Do you have a video when using magmod magbox outside and if your doing sunset pictures

Great video

No interruption here.

I lost when he said magenta we add a color magenta gel or how or set magenta color in the camera help pls

Where did you place the mag beam?
