Here are some samples from my first attempt at using gels. The shots were taken mid-afternoon in a room that had full sunlight streaming in. The model wasn't as interesting as many here, but it did have endless patience.

Also, if this works, these will be the first images I've posted to the site.

A red gel on the hair light to dirty up the image.

A magenta (?) gel to set a custom color balance which caused everything to go green. Then the gel went on the flash which almost balanced out the green on the subject's face. It's a fun look but I normally only get once chance :P

A homemade mini soft box, gridded flash, and gelled background.

I'll start with a completely different reason to use gels - to make the flash color match the ambient. Here I used something like toughplus green + 1/2 CTO to try to match the puke green color of the stadium lights. With proper adjustment both the cheerleaders on the dark track and the illuminated field behind them are reasonably close.

Now for more creative uses:

Purple picked to match her shirt, on dark grey seamless

A hint of blue for background separation
