So I had to buy these filters/ gels in very big sheets. Better start sharing it! So I made some packs as defined by mr Strobist himself and they are available here.

These filters, also called gels, are used as colour correction for flashes. If you shoot flash inside with tungsten lighting you will actually get two white balances in one photo. With these correction filters you can prevent this.

You can find more info on how to use these gels on this strobist post

I’ve made 2 cutting templates:
50 x 150 mm filter cutting template & 50 x75 mm filter cutting template

I’ve posted some pics for example usage.

An other hobby of mine is radio controlled model flight, through a model builders forum I met Vincent who has a website on which he sells plans for rc aircraft. His next project will be the Piaggio P180.
Through some research on the internet het found the owner of one of the two P180’s that are stationed in the Netherlands. So he send the guy a message that he needs to shoot some pics of details of the plane for his new project and he gets invited! Can you imagine sending a multi-millionaire an email and getting a reply within the hour? So cool! And I don’t mean an “out-fo-the-office reply” :P On the forum he said he was going to take pictures so I asked if I could tag along. He let me! (Thanks Vincent)
It wasn’t too easy getting on the platform where the plane was because of the security so in the end there wasn’t much time to take pictures but being up close and personal to a 5 million bucks aircraft was interesting enough. It is a beauty! Vincent, get your *** behind that computer and get going on these drawings so I can order them! (just kidding)

I noted in our local newspaper that there was gonna be a volkswagen meeting at big daddy’s. I thought it would see a lot of classics, like beetles and karmann’s… but no, it was more of a “pimp my ride” event, mainly vw golf’s and polo’s. Had a good time though and of course shot some pics! If I’d read the newspaper better I’d have seen that it was organised by the vwforum and would have seen beforehand what it was about.
