Well, free 'ish' anyway, just asking for a charity donation.

I recently bought a few Lee filter gels for my lights and had a load of offcuts left over. Rather than hoard them or throw them away I thought I'd offer them to you lot in case anyone wants to experiment with some gels over their flash for effects. :)

I've managed to cut them up into rectangular pieces generally about 6 x 9cm, certainly larger than a hammerhead flash head anyway. I've enough for 10 envelopes with about 13 pieces in each like the picture below. Colours include: Primary Red - Dark Blue - Bright Pink - Pale Gold - Golden Amber - Fern Green - Steel Blue - Peacock Blue - Medium Blue/Green - Cosmetic Rouge - Cosmetic Highlight - Cosmetic Aqua - Cosmetic Emerald.

First 10 PM's with your name and postal address (laid out so I can just copy and paste onto a label please) gets them. I'll cover the postage, just put a couple of quid into a charity box next time you pass one (childrens charities preferred but otherwise your choice).

Very nice gesture and those who read my posts will know I support lots of different causes whenever I can, either with change in collection boxes or a bicycle ride for local children's hospice or by taking unwanted items into charity shops for them to sell.

Thanks for the response and kind offers to donate... every little helps these charities I reckon.

They do, thanks Keith. Will they cover the flashead of a Canon 580EX II do you reckon?

I'll ensure that an extra fiver is given to them, next time I donate.

Cheers :thumbs:

Afraid I'm a darksider so I'm not sure... I expect so though, they're well oversized for a Nikon SB-900 anyway.
 
Thanks very much Keith, you're a star. I was just about to order some of these, donation to Marie Curie is on it's way. :thumbs:

yeah thanks again Keith! Its a nice thing to let them go free and worth the donations!
 
Damn my late sleeping :(

Where did you buy the gels from originally?

Hia

I was about to buy some from here.

A few people on the UK strobist Flickr group have used and seem to be well liked.
 
Fantastic, cheers Simon :D
 
Most welcome. :)
 
Thanks flashman got mine in the post today. will have to try them later on!
 
What a cracking load of guys you are here. Well done to all Fantastic gesture Flashman.

Yep, mine arrived yesterday. Thanks!

A fiver will be put in a kids collection box sometime this week. I'm thinking it'll go into the Norfolk and Norwich children's ward fund, where they buy kids Christmas presents for those who are in over the festive period. A pub has raised about £1300 so far, against a target of £1600. Consider it done!

Cheers again Keith :thumbs:
