Orange filter for DSLR camera

Da8 · Jul 12, 2020

Hello.

Would love to buy a filter for my canon camera (58mm) but I'm unable to find the exact orange filter which is used in filter for smartphones and similar

Can somebody give me some information to get a nice orange filter?

Thank you

Tiffen 85b is a pretty good filter

enough for shooting on only blue leds or predominant blue light?

thank you very much for the quick answer. I'm about to buy it asap

It works pretty well under full blues

Da8 · Jul 13, 2020

yes, it works pretty well

Quite expensive, but I think it deserves.

Would you consider any other option?

Thank you very much, been long time wandering how people make so impressive blue shots with dslr

Hoya is another good brand. 85b is somewhat of standard filter though, so any brand should be OK.

Your Canon can probably adjust it's white balance internally though. If you don't have a card, a napkin or coffee filter should make a decent substitute.

Well.

I owe you a big one.

If I master it I will be sooo happy.

Promise to post my advances as soon as I custom my white balance.

Thank you very much for your help.

Any other super tip will be appreciated.

Thank you so much @dragon99

Really appreciated your help.

Was very easy to find it just as soon as I knew the filter number.

And yes..been playing with the wb adjustment.

Thank you very much.

ps, I like more daylight photos, but it is very nice the results with this filter

Hope you like them

Outstanding! Definitely some nice corals there.

I’m using a Nikon d500. I just got a Tiffen 58mm orange 21. I’m having a really hard time working with it. Can anyone give me any advice? I’ve been shooting raw & taking it to Lightroom but can’t get a good white balance at all.

Following this. I have a Cannon Rebel7 and I am having a difficult time as well getting good tank shots with it. I have better luck turning up the white lights and using my cell phone.
