Photography Lighting CourseColor Correction Filter GuideThe Simple Way to Select Photography FiltersHave you ever wondered which CC filter is the right one for you? Many photographers have seen swatchbooks with samples of color correction filters and color effect gels, but have trouble understanding howthese filters translate in a photograph.This guide it meant to take the guess work out of the filter selection process by giving you a visualreference to color correction filters. If you’ve ever wondered what a ¼ CTO filter looks like vs ½ or fullCTO filter, then, this guide is created just for you.How To Use The GuideTo the naked eye, all light appears the same but different types of light source, including the sun, giveoff different levels of color temperatures. At times, certain types of lights require color correction, andthis is when CC filters come into play.To create this guide, I used a Sekonic C-800 color temperature meter and measured the exact color ofmy light source. Once I had the temperature of my light source, which was 5516 Kelvin, I set the whitebalance on my Nikon Z7 to 5620K and used a Color Checker passport to make a custom camera profile.COPYRIGHT 2020 MATTHEW JORDAN SMITH ALL RIGHTS RESERVED WWW.PHOTOGRAPHYLIGHTINGCOURSE.COM

Photography Lighting CourseThe last step before taking my first image, was to get an exact light meter reading. I used the Sekonic L858D-U to read my light before adding any color correction filters. The exact light meter reading wasF/4.7 at 1/125th with an ISO of 400. I set my camera to f/4.5 @ 1/125th at ISO 400 and took the firstimage for this guide. It is important to note that all exposures in this guide consistent for the entireduration of this color correction filter guide. All images were shot at F4.5 @ 1/125th at ISO 400.COPYRIGHT 2020 MATTHEW JORDAN SMITH ALL RIGHTS RESERVED WWW.PHOTOGRAPHYLIGHTINGCOURSE.COM
