DIY Ghetto Gel Light
Time for a ghetto tutorial. Using a CD jewel case we'll make a nice gel light.
This is an older tutorial that I posted quite awhile ago. I apologize for just ripping it down like that. Having said that, let's get on with it.
I was desperate for a color light tonight. I didn't have one and I was too lazy to go to the store (it's like 1:00am on top of me being lazy). So what to do, what to do.
I'm sure you have a color jewel case or two laying around?
Take it apart and tape a few together like so.
Then set it up like so.
Then take a photo like so.

Do NOT use the term ghetto unless you're trying to refer to a high density, impovershed section of a city inhabited primarily by people of the same race, religion, or social background, often because of discrimination.
It shows your class and race, which, lets be honest, is unbecoming of you.
Lastly, when you come to my site, you should lighten up, or don’t come at all. Thanks in advance.
“4. (adj.) jury-rigged, improvised, or home-made (usually with extremely cheap or sub-standard components), yet still deserving of an odd sense of respect from ghetto dwellers and non-ghetto dwellers alike”
More seriusly, thanks for your Diy section !!
Glad you found the tutorials useful! I'd like to do some more if I ever get a break!
Oh wait, am I only allowed to use the word "trip" if I'm referring to "a journey, voyage, or run made by a boat, train, bus, or the like, between two points"?
Your DIY Gel Light is fabulous. In fact, it's Ghetto-Fabulous!
Thanks for coming by!! (please, stop by whenever!!)
(*trip* as in a reaction usualy due to using drugs, while being in a high density, impovershed section of a city inhabited primarily by people of the same race, religion, or social background)
I jury-rig alot of things, and i am from the ghetto, also jewish, Not sure where your from lady but those are perfectly legal and accepted in the world today. If you were somehow offended by anybody saying perfectly legal and acceptable to society, then whats the issue?
Go fight the war against crime, drugs, music piracy... You need to shoot higher since you obvious are of higher class. Taking time out of your life to correct "slang" on a blog on the internet.
BTW, the "DIY Ghetto Gel Light" rocks, thanx for the ideas. Surprised to find that i already have alot of those cases laying around.
Ghetto + DIY = The future inventions for the average joe...
Great idea, thanks for some fantastic tutorials.
Good site, I'm glad I found it!
Keep up the good work!
For colored Gels, I simply buy a few Transparent Printing papers, and print a full red, or blue or whatever color that tickles my creative sense, and clamp it infront of my light source, just keep an eye on them or they might melt or catch a fire.
Keep it up man, and use whatever terms you like, it's your site after all
