What coffee filters do to pictures......
 

If you get too much white flash in your pictures, simple take a common coffee filter piece and place on flash, a finger also works, just experiment and you will see some neat results like these.

Great photos!!!

Ive used paper myself, and somtimes just block of the center of the flash with a finger. Never thought of a coffee filter though :) neat!

i was thinking also how ironic it's a soft brn like coffee lol

Great idea, Tanya. I have been using strips of cloth, cut out from an old white T- shirt, to reduce the harshness of tight flash shots.

Might have to start drinking coffee again.

the other material that works well, is those soft cloth like wrapper on female sanitary napkins, happen to see it lets through light, also and then adjust fingers. different colored light weight paper will give off what glow? Hunts the house for different things.

Yer killen me, girl. LOL. My stock of sanitary napkins has run low for obvious reasons. Anyhow, they were never that sanitary in the first place

You gave me a good laugh. Now you must be punished.

J/K, of course. Female sanitary napkins are nothing to laugh about.

Tanya, thanks for hint. I guess I should read a photography book because I hadn't thought of covering the flash.

i didn't think of covering the flash until my finger accidently covered it and then it was on from there
