Effect Color "Filter" On Speedlite

Entry merapu (tapi berguna ye) ni i dpt idea masa tga camwhoring sengsorang kat my room.. abaikan muka2 steng yang berjaya di buat. Focus on the overall effect of the pic ye..

FYI pics are taken using my overused Canon EOS 1000D (entry level DSLR) with built in flash (setting -1) and ISO 800.White balance i kept it to sunlight and there was a single lampu kalimantang in my room. Taken at 10pm at night.

Lens was the kit lens 18-55mm and i was using 18mm at f3.5.

Normal flash without any filter.Hate the way the shadow falls.. simply wrong.

Flash w red filter (just used red fabric to loosely cover the flashlite). ada mysterious feel to it. and it kinda soften the harsh flash,kan?

Flash w green filter. Agak kelihatan demam kuning disitu tapi it gives an interesting effect i must say.

Flash w yellow filter. This gives a more "natural daytime" look to the picture.

So kalo agak2 korang gile buhsan...u can experiment with various fabrics/plastic of diffrent colors! Tapi make sure u only wrap it loosely around the flas or it will overheat the flash and it can burn out! YIKES!.. since im a person yang takde duit sgt.. i usually use a tissue paper to soften flashes. Works well for me so far.. hehe.. 

cant wait to ada duit nk bli speedlite and lens baru! ngee~
