Gel packs - Color temp 4 Golden Hour

[ShaneF]

I am looking in to buying some gels for my canon 430EX11 flash. I have a couple question.

1. What is the color temperature gel generally used for a golden hour fill flash.
2. What gel pack/kits can you recommend

This is the kit i was looking at buying on ebay more gels then i know what to do with but you never know whne they will come in handy.

Thanks

I suggest Rosco gels. You should get a kit that has at least 1/4, 1/2 and Full CTO filters in it. You'll also want a green filter to color correct for fluorescent lights.

That site is kind of confusing not knowing anything about gel's. I am assuming something like this would do the job.

Like most things photographic, there is no one, pat answer. The Roscoe pack linked to will be exactly what you need, and as for the actual colour value, it will be a matter of playing with the various cuts of CTO (Orange) gel to get the right look for that moment in that location.
