Good? Great? Not much of a difference?

Can you post some of your best shots where you have used them.

I just got the free sample in the mail and will be playing with them over the weekend.

A camera.
Trinkets galore.

I'm a product of the 80's (high school years), so I tend to gel a lot. :cool:

This one was shot with a 430EX with 1/2 CTO filter into a softbox camera right, 430EX at low power with red filter on a boom overhead into a silver bounce umbrella, and a bare SB26 at 1/64th power snoooted at camera left.

This one has a 430EX into a softbox at camera left, SB26 with Cyan filter into silver bounce umbrella at camera right, and a 430EX with full CTO filter on the block wall behind her (can't really see the wall in this one).

I find 'em handy for spicing up backgrounds - the background here is the white wall downstairs not long after I first got the gels and was mucking around...

Lighting's not perfect but it's more interesting than having a plain white wall in the background!
