This is the first time I have experimented with Color Gels, and had lots of interesting results. I particularly like the use for direct backlight/rimlight onto back of subject. This set up is as posted, with a gel over the back light.

What do you think for a first go?

Capture of setup (I find it useful to capture setups and leave them in the folder with the shots :D )

I like the effect in #1, but the focus bothers me some.
I find the colour in #3 off putting. It reminds me of colour fringing on a badly ghosted TV

thanks, yeah I agree with the blue, I like where the blue is, but definitely the wrong color...

how about this one, how's the focus? I like this color better than the blue, but we were just having fun with colour...

Much better. Focus is still not quite there, but it looks more like SoftFocus rather than OOF in this one.
